Kanonkop, Kadette Pinotage 2022
DESCRIPTION
From the exceptional 2022 vintage, Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage expresses all the nobility of Stellenbosch's granitic hillsides. This flagship from the fourth-generation Sauer family reveals the expertise of a legendary estate founded in 1910.
On the nose, it seduces with intense red and black fruit aromas, enhanced by vanilla, cinnamon and four-spice. The palate, full-bodied and perfectly balanced, reveals fine tannins and a long, satisfying finish.
Aged 12 months in French oak barrels, it embodies South African excellence. A wine of character to serve with duck tataki with sweet spices or pork gyozas with cherry compote. Its aging potential of 5 to 7 years promises beautiful evolution.
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.
