Kanonkop Paul Sauer wine is a prestigious South African red blend, endowed with a remarkable depth and elegance. This wine is a harmony of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, offering a lavish bouquet of black cherries, plums, and pencil shavings. Its robust structure and complex flavours of dark fruits and spices are gracefully combined with a subtle oak undercurrent. Maturing gracefully over time, this full-bodied wine is both opulent on the palate and exhibits a lengthy, crisp finish. Kanonkop Paul Sauer wine is a magnificent testament to winemaking prowess and a vintage of true international standing.

Tasting Notes

This classic wine with a saturated ruby colour, is complemented by a dense and interwoven complexity of tilled earth, bouquet garni, with red- and black currant and cedar. The wine is refined, with an elegant structure, precise tannins, and together with the clever use of new oak, creates the perfect backdrop to host the complex fruit spectrum. A long, and youthful finish. Aging potential 20-25 years
