Red dry
“Kanonkop Kadette Cape Blend 2020” is a superb interpretation of a classic Bordeaux blend, enhanced by the classic South African ‘Pinotage’ grape.
Crimson red in color, with aromas of raspberries, dark cherries, black plums, cinnamon, and allspice. Supple, elegant tannins, supported by fresh acidity, are balanced with an explosion of fruit on the palate. Juicy flavors of red and black fruits, and hints of chocolate, add complexity and emerge on the finish.
Juice fermentation took place in open concrete tanks, with a constant temperature of 28°C. The wine was aged for 12 months in second and third fill French oak barrels.
Residual sugar content - 3.1g/l.
Serves 16-18°C with beef or lamb burgers, beef stew with mushrooms, pizza, pasta with meat sauce.
Kanonkop Winery is often referred to as South Africa’s Priemier Grand Cru Classe winery. The family winery, which has been handed down from generation to generation for more than 40 years, owns 100 hectares of vineyards on the slopes of Mount Simonsberg, where more than 50 years old Pinotage vines can be found. Here the productions are some of the best red wines in all of South Africa. Wine production is based on old traditions: most of the vineyards are not artificially irrigated, the wine is fermented in shallow wide concrete tanks and then matured in French oak barrels; and everything is done on the same farm.
