Black Label Pinotage 2020, Kanonkop

Kanonkop’s iconic Black Label Pinotage is produced in limited quantity from 67 year old bush vines. The Kanonkop Black Label Pinotage 2020 has a deep purple colour, with a concentrated, rich profile of red and black cherries, dark plums, sweet spice and dark chocolate notes from the French oak. Notes of dry earth and cured meats adds to the wines complexity. The seamlessly integrated oak and velvety tannins gives structure to the sultry fruit core. The perfect balance of elegance and complexity- iron fist in a velvet glove!

Ageing potential: 15 – 20 years from vintage.

Food Pairing: Aromatic curries, barbequed venison and beef, grilled game fish such as tuna, roast duck with berry sauce and pork belly.

Alcohol: 14.36% ABV

    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."
