Kanonkop Pinotage 2004
Varietal: Pinotage
Vineyard: Kanonkop
Region: South Africa, South Africa
One of the best vintages over the last 20 years. Kanonkop has set the standard for the notoriously fickle Pinotage grape. The estate's stunning, age-worthy bottlings show the heights this unique varietal can attain when placed in the hands of a master! Balanced oak and tannin flavours that will integrate over the next few years. A classic rather then New World style wine that will last at least 10-12 years in the bottle.
Alluringly complex and distinctive, this benchmark Pinotage boasts juicy layers of dark berries, ripe banana and cassis intertwined with smoky, minerally undercurrents. Great with game birds, roast beef, lamb potjie, meat stews, ratatouille, strong cheddar cheese and even butterscotch pudding!
