Rich, textured and loaded with ripe fruit, South African trailblazers Kanonkop are well-known for their benchmark Pinotage and rightly so.
This is one of South Africa's most iconic varieties and in the hands of Kanonkop's award-winning winemaking team, this is simply a perfect example of everything this much-maligned grape can do.
What is most striking with the 2020 is the wine's purity and balance. Bravo!
What the critics say:
"A rich and spicy pinotage that shows notes of cedar, spice box, cumin, vanilla and chocolate cherries. Full-bodied, plush and juicy, with chocolate-soaked tannins. Remains fresh and lively. Drink or hold."
"The 2020 Pinotage Estate is fermented in open-top fermenters and is raised for 16 months in 80% new oak. It has a very pure and precise nose that is a masterclass in what this sometimes derided grape variety can do. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fine acidity, very pure and poised with a gentle yet focused, blackberry and bilberry finish. Lovely."
