    2021 Illimis "Transparency" Red (Western Cape, SA) 4R

    Illimis is a petite endeavor helmed by the youthful winemaker Lucinda Heynes, whose origins lie in viticulture. She specializes in crafting sincere, minimally intervened wines, with a notable flair for Chenin Blanc and Cinsault. In her "Transparency" collection, she skillfully reveals the wines' terroir with precision, finesse, and intricacy.

    This red blend offers up vibrant aromas of red fruits and floral fragrances. On the palate, it dazzles with lively purity and acidity, accompanied by a chalky tannin structure and an enduring finish. For the best experience, serve it slightly chilled.
