Kanonkop Estate Pinotage 2017/2021 1.5L Magnum

Bold plum, blackberry and black cherry lead into layers of liquorice, smoke, roasted nuts and rich vanilla. The palate is concentrated yet balanced, with red and black cherry, dark chocolate and spicy oak supported by plush ripe tannins and vibrant acidity, finishing long and structured.

Food Pairing: Aromatic curries, venison, duck, seared game fish and spicy Asian dishes.

93 Points - James Suckling

Perfumed nose of dark cherries, mocha, sandalwood and baking spices. It’s full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Layered and textural with a focused and harmonious structure. Well-driven with a lively, long finish. Drink or hold.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Winemaker Abrie Beeslaar shows the complexity and age potential of Pinotage in his wines. The Estate collection is proof of that. This vintage offers aromas of sweet spices and berries. It's full on the palate, with a good concentration of raspberries and red plums. A touch of licorice lingers on the finish. This is still young, but it's ready to drink now, or hold through 2035.
