Scions of Sinai Heldervallei Cinsault 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R325
‘Bernhard Bredell uses 30% whole bunches and submerged cap fermentation to produce this perfumed, ethereal Cinsault from a Sinai Hill block planted in 1988. Gentle, caressing tannins frame a palate of goji berry and pomegranate, complemented by engaging focus and minerality and a rose petal top note. 2024-31’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 94/100
‘Grapes from a vineyard planted in 1988. Partial whole-cluster fermentation. Matured in older 225- and 400-litre barrels. Cranberry, red cherry, rose, fynbos and an intriguing slightly wild, cured meat note. The palate is pure and poised with zesty acidity and fine tannins, the finish super-dry finish. Alc: 12%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100

| Producer information | Scion refers to the top part of a plant/vine or can also mean 'the descendant of'. Sinai refers to the ‘Sinai Hill’ which is a granite hill in the lower Helderberg region. Bernhard Bredell used these words to create the name Scions of Sinai which is also applicable given that he is the 7th generation (descendant) of Bredell wine farmers. Scions of Sinai Wines mainly focus on curating the uniquely located vineyards of the Lower Helderberg region around a granite hill. Bernhard hopes that his wines express the vineyard, it’s soil and the vintage clearly and purely. |
