Black Label Pinotage 2017, Kanonkop

Kanonkop’s iconic Black Label Pinotage is produced in limited quantity from 65 year old bush vines.  An intense floral perfumed nose of dark red rose petals, with layers of strawberries, red fruit and hints of sweet spice.  The powerful palate is packed with red fruit, black plums and chocolate, whilst the beautifully integrated oak plays a great supporting role.  The seamless finish rounds off this complex, powerful yet elegant wine.  This wine will reward careful cellaring of up to 25 years and is a great partner to red meat or spicy Asian style dishes.

    string(569) "South Africa’s very own variety, created in the early 20th century by crossing Pinot Noir and Cinsault. A variety which the home nation has taken to its collective heart, in the right hands and with gentle, delicate handling in the winery, Pinotage is a lush, fruit driven, black cherry jam and white pepper styled variety. When the focus is more on a traditional feel, extended barrel maturation can bolster the variety into creating more of a Bordelais clone. Some great examples exist, famously from Kanonkop and Kaapzicht Estate; both to be found in Stellenbosch."
