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
The 2023 Kanonkop Kadette Cape Blend presents a deep ruby-red hue, offering a bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, intertwined with spicy pepper, tobacco, and subtle vanilla notes. On the palate, it delivers flavors of ripe raspberries, blackcurrant, and mocha, complemented by dark chocolate and blackberry nuances. The wine exhibits good length with a dry finish, showcasing remarkable complexity with soft grape tannins and a long, satisfying aftertaste.
Food Pairing
This versatile blend pairs excellently with a variety of dishes. It complements grilled meats, roast chicken, beef or lamb burgers, and hearty stews. The wine's structure and fruitiness also make it a suitable companion for pizza and pasta dishes.
