Kanonkop CWG Pinotage 2008
20 to 50 year old bush vines with yields of 3-5 tons per hectare were used to make this wine. The grapes were de-stemmed, sorted, crushed and then fermented in open top “kuipe” for 4 days. All the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in the barrel and a further 14 months of barrel aging. Tasting Notes: Deep, red colour with a strawberry and plum aroma and a touch of vanilla. Dark fruit on the palate with plum and blackcurrant being the focus and mocha flavours adding to the complexity. The wine finishes with a dry aftertaste.
