Kanonkop CWG Paul Sauer 2007
30 year old trellised vineyards with 5 tons/ha yields are used to produce this wine. The grapes were destemmed and sorted before fermentation, which took place in open top “kuipe” for 5 days. After malolactic fermentation, the blend was made and put in 100% new French oak barrels for 24 months. This is a selection of the best barrels of this wine. Tasting note: Wild and herbaceous with piercing mineral notes. Full vibrant palate, hints of passion fruit and tangerine elegantly balanced by subtle smokiness. This wine is a true reflection of cool terroir and will age wonderfully with careful cellaring.
