Wine Tasting: "Say it ain't Cinsault"


  • VinoTeca 299 N Highland Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 United States (map)

Oh… it’s Cinsault! One of our favorite grapes. Cinsault may not be a household name, but it’s been a key player in the wine world for centuries. Originating in the south of France, this grape thrives in warm Mediterranean climates and is prized for its delicate texture and lively fruit. Traditionally used in blends (think Châteauneuf-du-Pape or Provence rosé), Cinsault is now stepping into the spotlight as a solo act, producing light-bodied reds and vibrant rosés that are as food-friendly as they come. From old-vine treasures in Languedoc to innovative bottlings in South Africa and beyond, this tasting will show you why Cinsault deserves a place in your glass. Expect bright berries, silky tannins, and a touch of spice—pure elegance with a sunny soul.

Wines Included:
Château Saint Jean Lez Durance ‘Lavender’ Rosé from Provence, FR
Mother Rock ‘Force Celeste’ Cinsault from Swartland, SA
