The Society's Exhibition Pinotage, Stellenbosch 2022
Red Wine from South Africa - Coastal Region
This South African exclusive comes from a Stellenbosch ‘first growth’, Kanonkop, whose wines are among some of the country’s most prestigious. As well as their world-renowned work with Bordeaux varieties, Kanonkop are masters of pinotage – South Africa’s own red grape – so they were the natural choice for this special wine. The style here is one that repays some keeping, so we deliberately hold this wine back in Kanonkop’s cellars and we ship and release it when it’s starting to mature and mellow. The 2022 vintage is absolutely delicious right now. Classically Kanonkop in its bold richness and generous toasty flavours, it has layers of spicy berry fruit and earthy, wood-smoke complexity.

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.
