Picked from an old-block overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Growing Pains is a medium bodied Cinsault from the Stellenbosch area of South Africa.

These old bush vines, combined with ten months in barrel, create a healthy concentration of red fruits and soft tannins.

Palate

Well-integrated oak. Medium alcohol, medium acidity. Ripe tannins and a clean finish.

Year: 2022
Alcohol: 12%

Hand-harvested, whole bunch, spontaneous fermentation, barrel-matured for ten months.
