Mount Abora Saffraan
Cinsaut 2013 93 Points
From the first time I tasted Mount Abora maiden
vintage Cinsaut last year with Krige Visser, at The Palazzo Hotel, 2013 follows
suit
Bottle purchased (23.02.14) at Wine Concept in
Blu Bird shopping mall, Melrose.
This naturally fermented Cinsaut, follows the Swartland
Independent charter, more restraint than 2012, firmer tannic core with bright
and chiselled acidity, crunchy overall well supported by perfectly ripe and
bouncy red fruits, lots of energy, supportive oaking protecting integrity of
fruit, could this be South Africa’s finest Cinsaut of 2013? I think so!
