Kanonkop Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 MAGNUM
DESCRIPTION
Kanonkop Wines are famed throughout South Africa for their consistent quality, purity and finesse. The 2018 vintage of the Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is an exemplary Simonsberg Cabernet. The perfume is unusual and enticing, encompassing cigar smoke, fennel, blackcurrant, tea leaves and shrubbery. This wine exudes a definite old-world charm; it is delicate, fresh and earthy and finishes up with liquorice notes and grainy tannins. Pairs ideally with sauce-forward dishes and steak.
REGION
Stellenbosch
South Africa
Stellenbosch is undoubtedly South Africa’s most prestigious wine region. Located in the coastal region of the Western Cape, east of Cape Town, it enjoys a Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes and sheltered by surrounding mountains. Its varied terroir – granite, shale, and sandy soils – allows for the production of both powerful red wines and elegant whites.
While Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blends (with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot) have built its reputation, Stellenbosch is also renowned for its refined Chenin Blancs, distinctive Chardonnays, and expressive Syrahs. Home to many iconic estates, this appellation remains a showcase of South African winemaking expertise.
