Kanonkop Estate
Kadette Stellenbosch Pinotage Blend
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
We had this wine twice on our trip. Once in their tasting room and again while on Safari at Rattray’s with dinner. Consistent notes and delicious both times for the price point.
The nose reveals; bright, ripe, red, blue and floral fruits. Vanilla, dark cherries, strawberries, blackberries, dark, rich soils, black licorice, steeped fruit tea, light baking spices and red, blue and dark florals.
The body is full. Tannins are dark & cocoa powdery, a little meaty and sticky. Ripe, red, blue and floral fruits. Vanilla, dark cherries, strawberries, blackberries, dark, rich soils, black licorice, steeped fruit tea, light baking spices, leather, dry tobacco with ash dry soils, granite minerals and red, blue and dark florals. Good acidity and a well polished finish. Hold a few years and get its even better self.
Photos of; the entrance to Kanonkop, courtyard artwork, entrance signage and the mountains viewed from the property and where they procured the name for their Cellar Door.

Light and enjoyable upon sipping but a noticable metalic finish. Wouldn't buy again.
