Experience the playful spirit of the Marras the Trickster Cinsault 750ml, a vibrant red wine from the rugged Piekenierskloof region. Winemaker Martin Lamprecht crafts this expressive wine to showcase the lighter, more elegant side of South African viticulture. This label captures the “trickster” nature of the Cinsault grape by offering unexpected depth within a light-bodied frame. It serves as a perfect introduction to the modern, “crunchy” style of Cape reds.

You will enjoy an aromatic explosion of bright red cherries, wild raspberries, and delicate rose petals. These fruity notes lead into a palate featuring refreshing acidity and soft, approachable tannins. The Marras the Trickster Cinsault 750ml provides subtle hints of pomegranate and white pepper to add a savory edge to the juicy mouthfeel. Every sip offers a clean, uplifting finish that makes it incredibly easy to drink. Serve this wine slightly chilled to enhance its vibrant red fruit characters during warm summer afternoons.
The winemaking team uses a minimal-intervention approach to preserve the primary fruit aromatics and vineyard expression. Lamprecht sources grapes from old bush vines to ensure natural concentration and balanced sugar levels. The winery utilizes some whole-bunch fermentation to add a spicy, structural complexity to the wine. This Cinsault pairs wonderfully with charred octopus, grilled tuna, or a classic charcuterie board with creamy cheeses. It also complements mild spicy Asian cuisine due to its low tannins and fruit-forward profile. This versatile red is ready for immediate enjoyment and offers fantastic value for any occasion.
