Cinsaut was one of the red wine grape varieties planted heavily after the phylloxera decimated the Cape Vineyards. In the 1980s it was about 13% of the South African vineyard, and yet at the turn of the century had dropped down to near 3%. Known as Hermitage in the early days, it is a parent grape of Pinotage the quintessentially South African wine grape, along with Pinot Noir, the noble Burgundy grape.
