The estate produces Scions Of Sinai Heldervallei Cinsault 750ml from a single vineyard block planted back in 1988 on Sinai Hill. These historic dryland bush vines sink deep roots into decomposed, quartz-rich granite topsoils. The handpicked fruit undergoes gentle basket pressing inside open-top neutral oak vessels. The winemaking team bottles the final liquid completely unfiltered and unfined to preserve the honest expression of the vintage.
