Cinsault Grape Variety

One of the oldest grape varieties in the South of France, its production has been on the decline in the last century.

It definitely has a different flavour profile from the traditional Spanish reds. More mineral and peppery, less fruit. I’ll have to check out some Austrian versions to … Continue reading Lemberger Grape Variety →

F.Schatz Acinipo

This is a wine that we picked up in Ronda in the Malaga province. It is from a winery set up by two German Brothers which is gaining a reputation for good wines. We bought it as it is one of their flagship wines. Made from Lemberger grapes more traditionally grown in Austria. The brothers … Continue reading F.Schatz Acinipo →
