McFarlane Wines Capitoline Wolf Red 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Western Cape
R165
‘92% Cinsault, 8% Grenache, the former undergoing whole-bunch fermentation. Matured for nine months in neutral 300- and 500-litre barrels. Pretty aromatics of cranberry, strawberry and rose while the palate is charming – light and fresh with no tannins to speak of, but still savoury. Alc: 12%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 90/100
‘There are oodles of bright red fruit on the nose followed by some spice coming from the whole bunch fermentation. On the palate there is raspberry and pink Sparkles sweets with a line of bright zippy acidity with bright fruit sweetness on the finish.’ – Winemaker
