Producer

Producer

The Kanonkop vineyard stretches across the slopes of the Simonsberg, benefiting from exceptional terroir. The soils are primarily composed of decomposed granite and gravel, providing ideal drainage and excellent heat retention. climat The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. These climatic conditions promote optimal grape ripening, resulting in rich and concentrated wines. The vineyards' exposure is carefully planned to maximize sunlight and ventilation, contributing to the exceptional quality of Kanonkop wines.

Owner and history

The Krige family has been at the helm of Kanonkop Wine Estate for several generations, perpetuating a legacy of passion and excellence. Johann Krige, the current owner, is a fervent advocate of Pinotage and is committed to producing wines that reflect the unique identity of the Stellenbosch terroir. His dedication and expertise are essential to Kanonkop's international renown. The family works closely with a team of talented winemakers and oenologists, sharing the same vision of quality and respect for tradition.

Vinification and aging

The vinification of the Kanonkop Black Label Pinotage 2020 is carried out with the utmost care, respecting both tradition and innovation. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and then rigorously selected. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromas and freshness of the fruit. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for an extended period, allowing it to develop its complexity and structure. Particular attention is paid to each stage of the process to guarantee the quality and elegance of this exceptional Pinotage.

The team's opinion

A Pinotage of rare elegance, which reveals the quintessence of the Stellenbosch terroir with remarkable depth and finesse.
