Grapes & Style

Cinsault

Cinsault is a Mediterranean red grape with a long history in southern France, North Africa, and parts of the eastern Mediterranean. It’s often used in blends, especially with Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Carignan, but it can also make beautiful varietal wines when treated gently.

In the vineyard, Cinsault is productive, drought-tolerant, and well suited to warm, dry climates. Because it can crop heavily, quality depends on thoughtful farming and restraint. It has also been important historically as a table grape and as a parent of Pinotage, the South African cross with Pinot Noir.

In the glass, Cinsault tends to be pale, fragrant, and easy on its feet, with red fruit, flowers, spice, and soft tannins. It’s often used to bring perfume and lift to blends, but the best standalone versions are lovely precisely because they don’t try too hard. Light, fresh, and quietly aromatic is usually the sweet spot.
