Description
Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is a classic Simonsberg Cabernet, exuding a sense of coolness in its character despite the warm vintage conditions of 2016. A perfumed nose filled with notes of blackcurrants, fennel, cigar box, tea leaf and “fynbos” shrub. The palate is delicate and fresh, with an austere old-world charm about it. Grainy tannins compliment the earthy profile, with subtle hints of liquorice on the lengthy finish.
Food Pairing: The perfect partner to steak, slow-cooked venison, braised beef short ribs, rosemary lamb shanks and matured hard cheeses
Ageing potential: This wine will benefit from further bottle ageing for up to 10 – 15 years from vintage.
