The 2021 Pinotage Estate has a very slight reduction on the nose that accents mentholated black cherries—well defined and exuberant. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple opening and lovely structure. White pepper and a touch of clove meet with just the right amount of fruit sweetness on the finish, closing with a suggestion of graphite.

The 2021 Pinotage Estate matured in French oak, 80% new for 18 months. It has a lively and well-defined nose, with just a touch of Wellington boot that marries the dark berry fruit well. The palate is well-balanced, with a lightly spiced entry fanning out gently towards the finish with a touch of stem ginger. This represents an elegant take on the grape variety.

Kanonkop
Kanonkop is situated on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, from where it produces award-winning wines. A fourth generation family estate, it was originally purchased by JW Sauer (a cabinet member in the parliament of the Union of South Africa) and has been in the family ever since. Kanonkop is famed for its red wines, particularly Pinotage, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. A blend of these three, 2015 Paul Sauer was the first South African wine to be awarded 100 points in Tim Atkin MW’s South African Report.
