Red dry
Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, half of which are new, this wine displays the classic aromas and flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of dark berries complemented by hints of mocha, chocolate, and tea leaves.
Serve at 16–18 °C with rich beef or game dishes, or with long-aged hard cheeses.
A sleek, taut style, with good energy to the core of black currant, plum and anise flavors, lined with mouthwatering iron and briar notes. The long finish lets the iron edge play out with a flicker of rooibos tea that should emerge more with cellaring. Drink now through 2018. 100 cases imported. –JM
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.
