Single Vineyard Certified (100% Cinsault)
W.O. Stellenbosch
From one of the few remaining old vine Cinsault blocks in Stellenbosch, renowned for its dense fruit profile and concentration. Youthful, bright and pure aromatics, textured structure from mid- palate to dry and grippy finish. Lots of intensity and depth.

“Cranberry and raspberry on the nose plus hints of floral perfume and spice. Excellent fruit purity, bright acidity and fine, chalky tannins, the finish long and utterly dry. Light and energetic, with sufficient mid-palate presence without ever becoming plush. 95/100” Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za

Description

The 2025 vintage at Scions of Sinai has produced wines of elegance, clarity, and remarkable balance. Described by Bernhard Bredell as a “textbook” growing season, the year was shaped by generous winter rainfall followed by dry, windy conditions from November onwards — creating ideal conditions for slow, even ripening and exceptionally healthy fruit.
Bernhard remains a vigneron first and foremost, deeply focused on the long-term health of the vineyards and the honest expression of site. Having farmed these vines since 2016, his understanding of the Lower Helderberg’s granite soils and maritime climate continues to sharpen with each season. The 2025 wines capture that quiet confidence beautifully: refined yet energetic, with freshness, purity, and a sense of ease that feels distinctly true to both place and vintage.
