Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied wine with firm tannins and a long finish, making it a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied South African red wine with an inky hue.On the palate, it displays ripe blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum flavors with a hint of earthiness and a touch of smokiness from the oak. The tannins are firm yet smooth and the acidity is well balanced. The finish is long and lingering. An excellent expression of South African terroir.
