Varietal Cinsault

Cinsault, a versatile red wine grape, holds roots in the South of France and has spread its influence globally. Known for its adaptability to various climates, Cinsault thrives in warm, arid regions, producing wines celebrated for their lightness, freshness, and approachability. Its soft tannins and vibrant acidity make it a preferred blending grape, often found in rosé wines and traditional blends like Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Cinsault's flavors typically evoke red berries, cherry, and floral notes, offering a charming and easy-drinking profile. Beyond France, it has found a home in regions like South Africa, where it contributes to both blends and standalone expressions. With its ability to craft delightful, quaffable wines, Cinsault continues to intrigue winemakers and enthusiasts seeking accessible yet distinctive varietals.

Country South Africa

Situated on the very tip of the African continent, South Africa has proved itself over three centuries to be an ideal location for producing a wide range of wines. Benefiting from something not dissimilar to a Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers complemented by both Atlantic and Indian Ocean winds, the grapes which grow on the valleys, mountainsides and plains of this fascinating country can ripen to their fullest capacity, producing wines packed full of fruity flavors and an array of interesting and enticing aromas. As a former colony, South Africa has long since been home to a range of different nationalities, who each brought something of their wine culture with them. As such, many European grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and others have been given time to flourish in South Africa, allowing the country to develop a diverse group of wine types which are proving increasingly popular around the world.

Region Coastal Region

The coastal region of South Africa is one of the most prodigious and productive wine regions on earth, and one which covers a vast distance making up for most of the tip of the African continent. The history of South African wines is a fascinating and surprisingly long one, with the very first wines in the country being produced by settlers in the 1650s, long before many other New World countries had even been discovered. Today, coastal South African wines are wildly popular around the world thanks to their big, fruity flavors and relative simplicity. Wineries in the region make the most of the hot sunshine, the high quality soils, and the brisk oceanic winds which keep disease at bay and stop the grapes from getting too hot, and produce a wide variety of wines of great distinction.

Vinous Media

The 2025 Pofadder is pure Cinsault on schist soils, matured in 40-year-old foudres and concrete vats. Like the Soldaat, there is some reduction on the nose, behind which lies vibrant red berry fruit, with touches of warm slate coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with vivid strawberry and raspberry fruit, a touch of white pepper and graphite. There is a little more body compared to the Soldaat, a touch of sour cherry mixed with blackberry and a precise and persistent finish that lingers in the mouth.

Winery Notes

It is very bright and has super red fruit and a linear, very strict character like being on a tightrope. It follows through with amazing texture and firm tannins. Unfined and unfiltered.
