Why You'll Love It
Light on its feet but far from slight, Zeitgeist shows just how engaging Cinsault can be. Cranberry, red cherry and pomegranate come with floral notes and a peppery edge, carried by soft tannins and bright acidity. Serve slightly cool with charcuterie, grilled pork or roast vegetables.
About The Producer
Blackwater is the independent project of François Haasbroek, who began seeking out neglected Cape vineyards while working as winemaker at Waterford Estate. His interest lies in the character of individual sites, particularly older vines and varieties that might otherwise disappear into larger blends. Rather than owning one estate, he works with growers across the Western Cape, building long-term relationships around vineyards he believes deserve their own bottling. Careful fruit selection and restrained cellar work underpin the range, from fragrant Cinsault and Carignan to textured Chenin Blanc and the unusual Pleasure Garden Palomino.
Winemaking Information
Sourced from dry-farmed older bush vines in Darling, Zeitgeist is made with a light touch to preserve Cinsault's perfume and fresh red-fruit character. Maturation in neutral vessels builds texture without adding strong oak flavour, keeping the finished dry red supple and lively.
