Illimis 2023 Cinsault
(6 x 750ml)

Fresh, vibrant and incredibly food friendly.

Crafted from old bush vines in Darling, this Cinsault is a beautifully expressive example of a variety that rewards restraint. Aromas of Turkish delight, red berries and subtle spice lead into a palate with fine tannins, bright freshness and remarkable balance.

A wine that is equally at home around the dinner table as it is enjoyed on its own.

“Lucinda Heyns’ intuitive understanding of vineyards is reflected in the quality, nuance and balance of her Darling Cinsault.” – Tim Atkin
