This year, Wim has been able to create a wine that satisfies the requirements of the Brutal marketing concept that has become so popular with many winemakers. It is a trademark Wim! Because he is devoted to lighter-style red wines, he often direct presses at least one of the grape varieties in his wines. Last year it was the Syrah in his Miss Piggy Blues, this year it is Brutal and the Cinsault which is one of the two grape varieties in this wine.

Once he had pressed the Cinsault to produce a white wine, he added whole bunches of Carignan to the fermenting juice.

The result was a delicious rosé-like wine that is lively and very delicious, with a surprising depth of flavour for an 11% alcohol wine. There has been no addition of sulphites at any stage of the winemaking process.

Wim had a very bad run in 2019 with frosts, so there is not very much of this wine available, and those of you who have enjoyed his light reds from last year will need to jump in fast. – Living Wines
