Kanonkop
The name Kanonkop was derived from a kopje (hillock) from which a cannon was fired in the 17th Century to alert farmers in outlying areas that sailing ships plying the waters between Europe and the Far East had entered Table Bay for a stopover at Cape Town.
Description
This wine presents an opaque blue-red color with a deep, complex, and perfumed nose featuring black plums, vanilla, cherries, dried red rose petals, and dark chocolate. The intense palate is rich with dark fruits, cedarwood, baking spices, a hint of smoke, and charcuterie. It is a substantial wine with well-balanced acidity and grippy yet velvety tannins, offering a truly enjoyable drinking experience.
Food Pairing
The robust and layered profile of this Pinotage makes it an excellent match for hearty dishes such as grilled lamb, venison stew, barbecued meats, and mature cheeses. Its complexity also complements spicy cuisines and rich, savory meals.
