Illimis Cinsault 2023
Illimis means clarity in Latin, and this 50-year-old bush-vine Cinsault is exactly that: transparent, floral and quietly profound.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Cinsault from a single vineyard of bush vines planted in 1974 on red loam soils in Darling, in South Africa's Coastal Region. Cinsault is one of the Cape's heritage red grapes, and old dry-farmed plots like this are why sommeliers keep whispering about it.
Taste Profile: Fragrant raspberry, wild cherry and perfumed wildflowers, followed by a layered, lifted palate of the same, with whisper-fine tannins and a lingering stony, floral finish. Anthony Gismondi's team scored it 93 points, calling it graceful with great finesse. Lightly chilled, it's lovely with roast chicken, duck or mushroom dishes.
Winemaking Process: Entirely whole bunch and natively fermented, pressed after 12 days on skins, then aged for 7 months in neutral 225L French barrels.
Winemaker: Lucinda Heyns left a career in wine research to found Illimis, a small minimal-intervention winery focused on wines that reflect their origin.
