Magnum of Kanonkop Kadette Cape Blend, Stellenbosch 2021

Red Wine from South Africa - Coastal Region
5.000000000 star rating 1 Reviews
Pinotage takes the lead in this juicy, full-bodied Cape Blend, alongside cabernet sauvignon and merlot and a splash of cabernet franc and petit verdot. The classic Bordeaux varieties really come through on the finish, with cassis, tobacco leaf and cedar character complimenting pinotage's sweet mulberry fruit. Just over a year in French oak brings a suppleness to the tannins and savoury, smoky complexity. A top-value South African red from a household name.

Kanonkop

Kanonkop, in Stellenbosch, is a leading South African estate with a whole raft of awards to its name. Kanonkop means ‘Cannon Hill’ and originates from the days when cannons were fired to signal the arrival of Dutch trade ships into Cape Town harbour.

This estate is probably the most famous producer of pinotage internationally and was one of the first ever estates to even grow the grape. Incumbent winemaker, Abrie Beeslaar won the esteemed title of IWSC International Winemaker of the Year award in 2008, having taken over from legendary predecessor and so-called ‘king of pinotage’, Beyers Truter.

Kanonkop is renowned for its red varietals, and chooses to specialise in only a few wines. Apart from its famous pinotage, the other grapes grown here are cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc which go into its very approachable Cape Blend, and the best into its iconic cabernets and Paul Sauer bottlings. These tend to be big, robust wines which go superbly well with red meat and spicy dishes.
