DESCRIPTION

Kanonkop Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is a structured and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon from Simonsberg, crafted by Abrie Beeslaar from vines with an average age of 30 years. Fermented in open concrete tanks with manual punch-downs and aged for 24 months in French oak barrels (50% new, 50% second-use), it features 14.5% alcohol and 2.8 g/L of residual sugar.

 On the nose, complex aromas of cedarwood, cigar box, cassis, pencil shavings, bay leaf, and a hint of paprika. On the palate, powerful and structured, with complex layers, silky tannins, and a long, balanced finish. Pairs beautifully with braised game or rosemary lamb chops.

REGION

Stellenbosch

South Africa

Stellenbosch is arguably the most prestigious wine region in South Africa. 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 the surrounding mountains. Its varied terroir of granite, schist and sandy soils makes it possible to produce both powerful reds and elegant whites.
While Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends (with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) built its reputation, Stellenbosch is also known for its refined Chenin Blanc, distinguished Chardonnay and expressive Syrah. Home to many iconic estates, the appellation remains a showcase of South African craft.
