Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, dry
Love Bite is a South African Cinsault from New Theory, made in a light, Beaujolais-like style to be served chilled. The grapes come from old vines, are picked by hand and fermented with wild yeasts, and the wine is bottled unfiltered. It tastes of red cherry, strawberry and raspberry, with soft tannins and a moreish, slightly saline finish. Give it half an hour in the fridge and drink it young, while the fruit is at its brightest, with charcuterie, roast chicken or grilled fish.
