Tom Shobbrook makes wines in Flaxman Valley. Natural wines, made by hand from organically grown fruit.
The Farm sits at 540 meters above the ocean. The soils are old and acidic consisting of sandy loam over yellow orange clay. The sandy loam profile is scattered with rose quartz while the clay layers have shadows of mica.
The cinsault grapes go through a few days of maceration, then fermented in stainless steel. Dark rose’ in colour, it shows beautiful fruit and serious minerality. This cinsault is soft and aromatic, as well as having a nice light tannin and a little tangy. Chill it a little before serving and enjoy it with food.
