Kanonkop - Stellenbosch Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

"Cabernet Sauvignon aficionados, discover the expertise of winemaker Abrie Beeslaar in this single-vineyard cuvée from South Africa!"

"Enticing notes of cigar spice, baked plum and cassis form the nose of this wine, with a touch of cedar for added interest. Medium-bodied, it has a velvety texture thanks to silky yet structuring tannins and just enough acidity to ensure balance. The medium-length finish offers a lovely evolution from jammy black plum and black cherry to lingering sweet spice." (Wine Enthusiast 2022)

Kanonkop - Stellenbosch Estate Pinotage 2021

"The most concentrated expression of Kanonkop Pinotage: elegant, complex, and with sublime aging potential!"

"Winemaker Abrie Beeslaar shows the complexity and ageing potential of Pinotage in his wines. The Estate collection is proof of this. This vintage offers aromas of sweet spices and berries. The palate is full-bodied, with a good concentration of raspberries and red plums. A touch of licorice lingers on the finish. This wine is still young, but ready to drink now or cellar until 2035." (Wine Enthusiast 2023)

Kanonkop - Stellenbosch Kadette Pinotage 2022

"The flagship cuvée from one of South Africa's great names: 100% Pinotage de Kanonkop from the sublime 2022 vintage!"

"The Pinotage Kadette 2022, aged mainly in second- and third-fill barrels, has a lively nose with scents of crushed strawberry and light licorice, veins of blue fruit emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly powdery tannins, leaning more towards pruney black fruits with, again, a hint of licorice on the nicely concentrated finish. Excellent. 2025-2029" (Vinous 2024)

Kanonkop - Stellenbosch Paul Sauer 2019

"Composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc and 11% Merlot, the 2019 Paul Sauer offers aromas of oaky pencil lead, turned earth and dark red and black fruit flavors on the nose before layers of oak spice and blackberry floral notes emerge. Medium-bodied, the wine is still youthful with a juicy, tannic edge, while succulent acidity and a pop of bright red fruit flavors radiate through the mid-palate. The finish is firmly tannic and needs a little time in bottle to find its rhythm. Give it two more years, and drink it over the next two decades." (Wine Advocate 2022)
