The Ringmuur vineyard was planted in 1963 on decomposed granite soils surrounded on two sides by an old farm ring wall. This Hermitake, or Cinsault as we call it today, is tiny and completely different from the other Badenhorst Cinsault vineyards, usually yielding less than one ton of grapes. If you ever decide to stay over on the Badenhorst farm, book the Vineyard Cottage right next to the vineyard and enjoy the view over the hills from your unique hot tub in a barrel.

Made using carbonic maceration for 20 days in a closed tank, then transferred to a large old vat for another approximate 11 months.  With cherries and rose petals on the nose it is light and elegant, yet has the typical dry Cinsault tannin grip on finish. A real unicorn wine from the Swartland!
