Cinsaut is a red wine grape, whose heat tolerance makes it an important variety in the south of France and of course in Texas. In the Languedoc-Roussillon of France it is often used as a blender to add softness and bouquet.  It is extensively planted in South Africa where it is known as Hermitage. Cinsaut has a perfumed bouquet and expresses hints of red cherry, ripe pomegranate, dried herbs, and a smooth pallet.

Try it with Escargot, roasted pork or lamb, Tex-Mex dishes such as enchiladas, or your favorite soft cheese
