La Despensa Boutique Cinsault Blend

Blend: 75% Cinsault, 15% Pais, 5% Marsanne & 5% Roussanne

Location: Colchagua Valley

Alcohol: 13.5% ABV

Tasting Note: Fresh, very fruit-forward, extremely easy-drinking. Notes of raspberry and strawberry from the Cinsault and Pais, and hints of tropicality from the white Roussanne and Marsanne.

Vinification: Hand-picked grapes. Native yeast ferments in a mix of stainless steel tank and open-top bins. 14 days from picking to pressing, no extended maceration. Aged for 5 months in stainless steel, then Flextanks and used oak barrels.

Vegetarian: Yes

Vegan: Yes

Food Match: Very versatile, accompanies pretty much all styles and types of food. Chicken, pork and meatier fish work well. Lovely simply as an aperitif too.
