Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cinsault wine?
Cinsault wine is crafted from the Cinsault grape, an ancient variety that is believed to have originated in the Hérault region of southern France. Often described as the “silent partner” in the wine world, Cinsault is recognized for its robust resistance to heat and its role as a blending grape in many revered wines. Typically, wines produced from Cinsault have a vibrant ruby red hue and a flavor profile dominated by fresh red fruits such as cherries, raspberries, and strawberries. Additionally, Cinsault wines possess light floral nuances and a peppery kick, making them distinctive and easily identifiable to those familiar with its character.

Which wine regions make the best Cinsault wine?
The Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France is often hailed as the ancestral home of Cinsault and produces some of the finest expressions of this grape. However, its adaptability to warmer climates has led to its successful cultivation in regions like South Africa's Swartland and parts of the New World, particularly California and Chile. Each region brings its unique terroir-driven touches, but the intrinsic qualities of Cinsault always shine through.

What are the most popular Cinsault wines?
The popularity of Cinsault wines has been on the rise, especially with the natural wine movement gaining traction. In the Languedoc-Roussillon region, old-vine Cinsault wines have garnered attention for their depth and complexity. Meanwhile, in South Africa, labels such as "The Sadie Family" have been celebrated for their Cinsault varietals. The New World regions, including California, also produce Cinsault-based wines that have been acclaimed for their modern interpretation of this traditional grape.

What are the best value Cinsault wines?
Value in the wine world often equates to wines that offer exceptional quality at an affordable price point. Cinsault, being a lesser-known varietal compared to giants like Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir, often delivers exceptional value. Many wines from South Africa's Western Cape and the Languedoc region in France offer delightful Cinsault expressions without the hefty price tag. Consumers looking for a balance of price and quality often turn to these regions for their Cinsault fix.

What are the foods best paired with Cinsault wines?
Given its light to medium-bodied nature and fruity essence, Cinsault wines are wonderfully versatile when it comes to food pairings. They work seamlessly with Mediterranean dishes like tapenade or ratatouille. Grilled meats, especially lamb and pork, complement the peppery nuances of Cinsault. Its freshness also makes it an apt choice for pairing with lighter fare such as salads, charcuterie, and soft cheeses. The wine's versatility ensures it can grace many a dinner table, enhancing a variety of dishes.
