Van Loggerenberg Wines Lötter Cinsaut 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Franschhoek
R535
‘The dry conditions in the early part of the harvest meant that the 1932 Lötter vineyard yielded just 1.8 tons per hectare in 2023. Floral, intense and savoury, this is mid-way between a Cinsault and a Nebbiolo in style, with notes of forest floor, truffle and rose petal and layers of plum, bramble and red berries. 2025-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 95/100
‘Grapes from a Franschhoek vineyard planted in 1932. 100% destemmed, maturation lasting in 10 months in 500-litre barrels. Enchanting aromatics of violet, fresh herbs, black cherry, orange and earth while the palate is rich and round with tangy acidity and mouth-coating, lightly spicy tannins. Alc: 13.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
‘Pale crimson. Very juicy and appealing. Lots of both chew and fruit here! A Cinsault with much more structure than most. Long. 2024-2034’ – Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20
