Notes from Viticulturist
This warm season cultivar is planted alongside its partner grape Mourvèdre to offer as blending pairs. These Rhône valley grapes are a classic French blend we could not omit from our tool belt. Cinsaut notably has the largest physical berries out of all the cultivars at the farm.
