DESCRIPTION
Kanonkop Wines are famed throughout South Africa for their consistent quality, purity and finesse. The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is dark and brooding and the aromas arising from the glass are hugely complex. Wet tobacco, oak spice, blackberry coulis, chai tea and fresh soil combine in the bouquet. The palate is equally diverse - you may decipher sweet raspberry and morello cherry with roasted coffee beans. All of these notes play out on a delicate latticework of tannins. Think sauce-heavy meals 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.
