Kadette Pinotage

Best served with BBQ red meat or chicken, pastas and spicy Asian style dishes.

Our Pinotage vines have been retained as bush vines to provide optimum sunlight, which allows for maximum ripeness. These vines range from 5 to 20 years of age.

Matured for 12 months in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels.

Fermentation took place in open concrete fermenters at 28C. The cap was punched down manually every 2 hours and the juice was drawn off the skin after 3 days.

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.
