Kanonkop CWG Paul Sauer 2018
70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot
Wine of Origin Simonsberg- Stellenbosch
The different vineyards are planted next to each other on the lowest-lying part of the farm. The grapes are destemmed, sorted, and then fermented in open top “kuipe” for 6 days. After malolactic fermentation in tank, the blend is made, and the wine is then matured in 100% new French oak barrels for 24 months.
Tasting Notes: Very typical floral notes of a young Paul Sauer. The oak is well integrated and adds to the complexity and tension of the wine. On the finish the wine has a typical, salivating dryness with a long aftertaste.
Winemaker: Abrie Beeslaar
