Description

Kanonkop Estate have released a 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Paul Sauer from the 2009 vintage, specially labelled and packaged in a striking gift box to commemorate 50 years of the Kanonkop wine brand from 1973 – 2023.  A classic blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc. This is a fitting tribute to the Kanonkop winemakers Jan “Boland” Coetzee, Beyers Truter and Abrie Beeslaar who have crafted our wines over five decades, as well as to the Estate’s legendary founder, Paul Sauer.

A highly awarded wine, it received the prestigious Pichon Longueville Trophy for Best Blended Red Wine at the IWSC in 2013.

NEAL MARTIN | SEPTEMBER 12, 2022 “The 2009 Paul Sauer, which was made by current winemaker Abrie Beeslaar, comprises 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It is magnificent, one of the finest vintages that I have tasted. Still deep in colour, the bouquet bursts from the glass with copious scents of macerated black cherries, cassis, dates and Seville oranges. The palate is precocious yet balanced to a fault, a fine line of acidity keeping everything in check, exuberant from beginning to end. Caressing in texture, this Paul Sauer manages to be both hedonistic yet completely refined. It would give most self-aggrandising clarets from the same vintage a run for their money. 95 points / Drink 2022-2045.”
