DESCRIPTION
Kanonkop Estate Pinotage 2021 in magnum is the flagship wine of the Kanonkop estate, a fourth-generation family property established on the foothills of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch. Sourced from 32 to 67-year-old non-irrigated bush vines, this 100% Pinotage is fermented in open concrete tanks with manual punch-downs every two hours, and then aged for 18 months in Nevers French oak barrels (80% new). This 1.5L magnum offers ideal aging conditions for prolonged cellaring.
On the nose, aromas of plums and black berries mingle with hints of licorice, smoke, toasted nuts, and vanilla. The palate is dense and fleshy, carried by integrated tannins and a balanced acidity, leading to a long and lingering finish. It pairs ideally with roasted red meats, game, or aged cheese. To be cellared and enjoyed between 2024 and 2032.
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.
Recommended for you:
A Pinotage that confidently displays its personality: fully ripe plums, sweet spices, and a light smoky touch. On the palate, it is fleshy and generous, with just the right amount of structure to endure.
