Production
From a parcel of Cinsault grown in our partner Vineyards, Primo, in Agter Paarl. For Side Eye we use 50% whole bunch to ensure the end product is supple and full of fresh, primary fruit. There’s no oak to mask any of the bright blueberry fruit on show – this is an absolute joy – made to be drunk in its youth so we’ve started with the super-energetic 2026. Cinsault made in this style is versatile enough to be served lightly chilled.
Tasting notes
The nose is bright and popping with aromas of fresh cranberry, raspberry and blueberry. The palate reflects these with vibrant, crunchy red berry fruit, tangy acidity and gentle spicy notes. An immediately appealing and quaffable style with a serious streak of quality thanks to the low yielding bush vine fruit.
Food match
Serve lightly chilled with Mediterranean dishes, chargrilled veg, pan fried shrimp or Asian inspired dishes.
