About this Item
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 Kanonkop Pinotage has become a consistent flag bearer for the variety in serious clad, and is made from bush vines aged up to 64 years old.

Critics Ratings
'No other way to describe 2010 other than dead sexy. Great aromas of red & black cherry, a floral note, banana loaf. Medium bodied, with purity, freshness and fine-grained tannins. Worthy successor to showstopping 2009, many years from optimal drinking.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 5*
'Kanonkop Pinotages continue to express the best of this controversial South African grape, while avoiding its drawbacks. Youthful, vibrant, primary fruit of black cherry and plums, with violets wafting from the glass. Succulent, yet structured, with subtle oak and fine-boned acidity.' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2013, 94 Points
