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
A more medium to full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from the elegant 2012 vintage. Showing notes of supple blackcurrant, prune and perfumed spice which follows on to the palate. The palate offers additional characteristics of cedar wood, tea leaf and molasses, its balanced with a good acidity and integrated ripe tannins. A lingering finish to complete a wine that will benefit from future bottle maturation.
Food Pairing
All types of steak. Slow-cooked venison. Braised beef short ribs. Rosemary lamb shanks. Matured hard cheeses
