About this Item

2012 Cabernet Sauvignon
4 (1 x 4) 750ml

Often described as the South African equivalent of a Grand Cru or First Growth, Kanonkop Estate is situated on the Simonsberg mountain slopes on the outskirts of Stellenbosch. Owned by the fourth generation Krige family, Abri Beeslaar is their long-term winemaker who has won International Winemaker of the year an incredible 3 times.

The Cabernet Sauvignon forms part of the 3-tiered, reds only fine offering under the Kanonkop label. Renowned for decades of ageing, Kanonkop’s Cabernet Sauvignon is austere when young and ages with grace.

Critics Ratings

'Quintessential Kanonkop Cabernet. Handsomely structured with fine-toned muscle, imposing tannic grip framing subtle walnut, dark fruit Intrigue. Age-worthy classic from excellent vintage.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*

'The Kanonkop Cabernet style favours elegance over extraction, and that’s certainly the case here in this classic, refined, and well balanced expression of the grape. Subtle, integrated oak, bright acidity and fine-boned tannins are complemented by leafy, floral notes. Effortless stuff. Drink: 2016-24' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2016, 93/100
