Description
The Secretary Bird Shiraz Cinsault (75cl)
The Secretary Bird, a name deriving from the quill like feathers of its crest, is a familiar sight in the open grasslands of the Western Cape and is one of South Africa's most treasured national birds. Taken from vines in the Western Cape this is a vibrant blend of two complementary red varieties. The Shiraz provides a rich black fruit platform for the crunchy, bright red fruit of the Cinsault.
Vinification Details: Produced from only free run juice and fermented on skins in stainless steel tanks.
History: Thanks to long-standing relationships with growers, we have been able to consistently source the best parcels of fruit and successfully establish the Boutinot South Africa style and standard always developing and improving quality.
Regional Information: Trellised and planted in the shale soils towards the North East parts of the Valley (bordering the Swartland Region).
