A Taste of Heritage
Discover the charm of Percheron Old Vine Cinsault, a wine that encapsulates the rich history and character of its vineyards. With roots dating back to old vines, this exceptional wine offers a delightful blend of tradition and modern winemaking, making it a wonderful choice for any occasion.
Rich Flavours and Aromas
Percheron Old Vine Cinsault showcases a vibrant ruby red colour that beckons from the glass. The nose is bright and expressive, revealing an inviting bouquet of fresh pomegranate, red berries, and subtle savoury notes. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine rewards with juicy fruit flavours and refreshing acidity, featuring a harmonious blend of crunchy cherry fruit and delicate gamey undertones. The age of the vines contributes to a naturally restricted yield, enhancing the wine's depth and character.
Crafted with Care
The vines, mostly 40-year-old bush vines from hidden corners of the Cape, benefit from an ideal climate for viticulture. With low summer rainfall tempered by cool afternoon breezes and cold winters, the vines build up essential reserves. Remarkably, no irrigation is used in the vineyards, and very little crop control is necessary due to the age of the vines. All grapes are harvested by hand at optimal phenolic ripeness, followed by a fermentation process using dĆ©lestage, which oxygenates the juice, resulting in a lower concentration of tannins and a higher concentration of estersākey compounds that enhance the wine's fruitiness.
Perfect for Any Occasion
Whether you're sharing a meal with friends or enjoying a quiet evening at home, Percheron Old Vine Cinsault is a versatile companion. Its approachable nature makes it a favourite among both seasoned wine lovers and those new to exploring reds.
Versatile Pairing Options
Delicious when slightly chilled, this Cinsault's bright, earthy notes and refreshing acidity marry beautifully with a range of dishes. It pairs perfectly with Asian duck, pork belly, stir-fried beef, and even carpaccio of tuna, beef, or game, enhancing every dining experience.

Best red wine we've tasted, all bottles packaged well and received in good condition
Absolutely recommend all of the wines, some I did not think I would enjoy but loved them all.
Really great having a nice glass of wine to go with my meal.
A real treat, canāt wait to order again
Lyre's Sparkling has a very pleasant taste and stands out in the "zero" space. It arrived very promptly after ordering from The Wine Shop.
We invited the lovely Rector of our parish church (the oldest church in Surrey) over for supper with her equally charming husband a while back. They were very kind enough to bring a bottle of this wonderful wine with them as a gift. We liked it so much I subsequently ordered 7 bottles from The Wine Shop to be delivered. I can recommend the wine AND The Wine Shop highly. In fact I have just placed a further order for another 8 bottles.
This one was a surprise find at a local restaurant, so we sought it out to order more. It's hard to describe a flavour, as much as it is to describe sound, but it may be easier to recount my experience of it. Here goes... It has good balance of fruit and body; it doesn't dry the mouth nor kill my palate after a single glass. It's a Primitivo from Puglia, so it has that character. Definitely recommended.
Thought I would give this wine a go as it was a favourite of Winston Churchill, well what can I say but Winston had great taste in red wine. A lovely dark red colour and a deceptive first slurp brings a super easy drink which then catches up to you with a powerful warm feeling in your stomach. Letās just say itās dangerously good. š
This is my second order of 12 bottles! Lovely wine, easy drinking! Mellow, light fruity notes and a clean refreshing finish!
This Primitivo is waaaay above the equivalent you would be able to buy in a supermarket at a comparable price point.
It pairs really well with Lasagna and rich meaty pasta dishes. Stands up well with strong flavours, such as garlic.
In fact it would pair well with a beef stew from any country, goulash etc.
It is also a lovely velvety wine that could be enjoyed on its own after the meal.
Fantastic value and easy drinking, in a good way.
Great service from the he Wine Shop, really quick delivery well packed and the wine was splendid.
Wine Shop offered the best price and I can highly recommend them.
My first ever wine from the Wine Shop! This is a beautifully smooth wine but which also has a bit of ābiteā. Very happy with this wine and Iāll be back!
Bought this as a present for my 22 year old son who was 15 when he first had a taste on a D Day visit 7 years ago. The wine is just as I remembered it, smooth and round, a delicious drink. My son also enjoyed the taste, as an adult.
It doesnāt get better than this!
I love Botter chianti. It has a great peppery finish and the bottle is a delight. Quick and reliable delivery too.
Amazing wine and a 24 hours delivery service.
Excellent service. Thank you
Very moreish sparkling Pinot Grigio at a reasonable price. Light and refreshing with none of the acidity or slight chemical aftertaste you often get with sparkling wines at this price. Went through a dozen bottles far too quickly.
