Product Notes

Kanonkop Pinotage wine is a premium South African wine that offers an elegant blend of complex flavours. It's crafted in the Stellenbosch region, known for producing high-quality wines. Boasting rich notes of ripe red fruit, dark chocolate, and a hint of tobacco, the wine presents a pleasing palate. Its bold, velvety texture and balanced acidity offer a robust taste, lasting with a sumptuously smooth finish. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine significantly stands out, making it perfect for special occasions. Ace for pairing with game or red meat, Kanonkop Pinotage is a delightful experience for all red wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

Intense purple hues. The nose is beautifully aromatic with scented aromas of redcurrants, macerated cherries and cinnamon spice. The palate displays a silky tannin structure, backed by a fine seam of acidity. Subtle vanilla undertones from the integrated oak profile are juxtaposed against a fruit explosion of wild bramble, plums and blackberries. An elegant wine with lingering flavours of juicy, dark plums on the finish, and a lifting underlying freshness.
