Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon 750 ml

Description:

Kanonkop Estate, renowned for crafting some of the finest red wines in the Cape, is celebrated as a South African "First Growth." This fourth-generation family farm, currently managed by brothers Johann and Paul Krige, has been under the stewardship of the Sauer-Krige family since the early 1930s.

This classic Simonsberg Cabernet captures a remarkable coolness, even within the context of a warm vintage. Its perfumed nose is a complex bouquet of blackcurrants, fennel, cigar box, tea leaf, and the native "fynbos" shrub. On the palate, the wine is delicate and fresh, embodying an austere charm reminiscent of the old world. Grainy tannins enhance its earthy profile, leading to a lengthy finish nuanced with subtle hints of licorice.
