Rascallion Wines was set up as a negociant in 2017 by Ross Sleet after time spent in the UK and South African wine trade with the idea to make attractive easy drinking blended wines from classic grapes sourced in the Western Cape aided by winemaker Riane Strydom.

The Vinyl Collection are a pair of interesting blends offering fun and pleasure and great value. From low yielding vineyards in the high lying Piekenierskloof region in the Citrusdal Mountains.

The Rascallion 45 RPM Red is from 36% Grenache, 32%Cinsault 26% Mouvedre and 6% Tannat, picked at optimum ripeness early in the morning for freshness. Each component is vinified separately, destemmed, and gently crushed before fermenting in stainless steel for 10 days with regular pumping over the skins for colour extraction.

Attractively fruit forward on the nose and palate with blackberries and plums with herb and spice notes and good length, attractive and easily drunk.

Style: medium bodied, fresh, fruity, spicy
