Wine Description:
Kanonkop Pinotage is a premium red wine produced by Kanonkop Estate, one of South Africa's most renowned wineries. The wine is made from 100% Pinotage grapes grown in the Stellenbosch region. The vineyard is characterized by granite and shale soils and benefits from the cooling influence of the Atlantic Ocean. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with wild yeasts before being aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of blackberry, plum, and chocolate, balanced by notes of spice and smokiness. Kanonkop Pinotage is known for its depth and complexity and is considered a benchmark for this uniquely South African grape variety.
Pros:
  • Kanonkop Pinotage is a full-bodied, intense, and bold red wine that offers a rich, dark fruit and smoky flavors. Its deep, ripe tannins and full body make it a great pairing for grilled meats and other hearty dishes. Its bold flavors make it great for sipping on its own

This Kanonkop Pinotage is a velvety, full-bodied red blend of South African Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums are complemented by hints of smoky wood and pepper. On the palate, the wine has an intense and juicy mouthfeel, with a balanced acidity and flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earth. The finish is long and lingering. An ideal match for grilled meats or hard cheese.
