About this Item

2003 Pinotage
6 (1 x 6) 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 2003 Pinotage was produced from 60 year old bush vines from one of the great vintages in the past 2 decades.

Critics Ratings

This is softening now, with mulled plum and fig notes laced with hints of tobacco, chestnut and dark earth. Picks up a rustic hint, but stays polished enough on the finish.’  Wine Spectator, 90/100
