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
Bright purple red colour. Bold plums, blackberries, hints of liquorice and tar, layers of smoke, roasted nuts and rich vanilla on the nose. Followed by a palate packed with plums, cherries, black figs, dark chocolate, blackberries and spicy oak, The beautifully integrated plush, creamy tannins with satisfying acidity resulting in a wonderfully balanced wine with a long finish, promising a great maturation potential.
Food Pairing
A fantastic food wine - serve with duck, game, lamb, smoked pork and Asian-style dishes.
