Bright and expressive, the Regna Loca Cinsault 2024 captures the lively charm of this classic Mediterranean varietal. Aromas of fresh red berries rise from the glass, layered with hints of red peppercorn and delicate rose petals. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and crunchy, with juicy tannins and a refreshing finish that brings both energy and elegance.
Part of Rickety Bridge’s Regna Loca range, meaning “local kingdoms”, this series celebrates the natural pairing of a region with the grape varieties that thrive there, offering a focused expression of place and cultivar.
A versatile and food-friendly red, it pairs beautifully with charcuterie, grilled lamb koftas, roasted Mediterranean vegetables, or duck with cherry glaze. Lightly chilled, it’s also excellent for warm evenings and relaxed gatherings around the table.

Sourced from some of the oldest bush vines in the Paarl region, these low-yielding vineyards produce only 3–4 tons per hectare. While yields are modest, the result is fruit of exceptional quality, with high flavor
concentration and minimal sunburn. The maturity and resilience of these vines contribute depth, complexity and a distinctive regional character to the wine.
The grapes were destemmed and kept as whole berries before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Gentle extraction was achieved with two pump-overs per day, increasing as needed to introduce more oxygen when required.
Dried stems were reintroduced into the ferment for added aromatic complexity and a perfumed character. After fermentation, the wine was pressed off and matured for 8–10 months in a combination of barrels and ceramic clay amphora.
