2017 Kanonkop Pinotage, Stellenbosch

2017 Kanonkop Pinotage, Stellenbosch

Quite oaky and good depth – saline and fine, feel the power and the grippy tannins, nice acidity. Nice verve here, and a long and juicy finish. Nice elegance and open knit tannins. Needs time to come together. Up to 66 years old, biggest planted in 1976.

Tasting notes

Still youthful and showing its 80% new wood, this is a very ambitious Pinotage from a fantastic Cape red wine vintage, exhibiting considerable colour, structure and concentration, fine-boned tannins and layers of raspberry and black cherry fruit. Give it time.
