DESCRIPTION
Kanonkop Estate is a true family story. For four generations, the Sauer clan (now Krige) has helped shape the greatness of South African wine. The estate’s name comes from the word kanon (cannon), referring to the one that, in the 17th and 18th centuries, signaled the arrival of ships in Cape Bay. The blast would also alert farmers to head to the port to trade their goods.
This Pinotage shines with a bright purple-red color. The nose bursts with bold aromas of plum, blackberry, hints of licorice and tar, along with layers of smoke, roasted nuts, and vanilla. On the palate, it’s rich with flavors of plum, cherry, black fig, dark chocolate, blackberry, and spicy oak. Velvety, creamy tannins are balanced by a satisfying acidity, delivering impressive length and depth.

RéGION
Stellenbosch
Afrique du sud
Stellenbosch est sans doute la région viticole la plus prestigieuse d’Afrique du Sud. Située dans la région côtière du Cap-Occidental, à l’est du Cap, elle bénéficie d’un climat méditerranéen tempéré par les brises marines et protégé par les montagnes environnantes. Son terroir varié – sols granitiques, schisteux et sableux – permet de produire aussi bien des vins rouges puissants que des blancs élégants.
Si le Cabernet Sauvignon et les assemblages bordelais (avec Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot) ont fait sa réputation, Stellenbosch est aussi reconnue pour ses Chenin Blanc raffinés, ses Chardonnay racés et ses Syrah expressives. Berceau de nombreux domaines emblématiques, cette appellation reste une vitrine du savoir-faire sud-africain.
