Snyman Wines "Rock of Eye" Cinsault 2023
Cinsault is the grape that used to get blended into oblivion, and Coenie Snyman, ex-Rust en Vrede, is giving it a proper solo.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Cinsault from old bush vines on granite soils in Stellenbosch, 13.5% ABV. Retailer notes put the vines at around 34 years old, though other sources differ on the exact vineyard and age. Cinsault is one of the Cape's heritage red grapes, and old bush-vine plots like this are exactly why it's having a moment.
Taste Profile: Cherry, raspberry and red berries with rose, rosehip and a floral lift, then fynbos, earth and a little spice. Smooth and round, with bright acidity and powdery tannins. The 2022 earned 92 points from Winemag; we haven't found a note for the 2023 itself, so this blends the 2022 review with retailer notes on the 2023. Slightly chilled, with charcuterie or roast chicken.
Winemaking Process: Fermented and matured in a mix of concrete egg and older oak barrels. The concrete keeps the fruit bright and the old wood stays out of the way.
Winemaker: Coenie Snyman spent around 16 years as winemaker at Rust en Vrede before launching his own Rock of Eye label. The name comes from tailoring: judging by instinct born of experience instead of measuring.
