Kanonkop CWG Pinotage 2018
100% Pinotage
Old, unirrigated bush vines with yields of 3-4 tons/ha were used to make this wine. The grapes were destemmed, sorted, crushed and fermented in open top “kuipe” for four days. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel and spent a total of 20 months in barrel.
Tasting Notes: Deep ruby red colour, with aromas of plums, cedar and sweet spices. The palate is well-structured, with a beautiful balance, and ends with a long dry finish.
Ready for drinking from 2024.
