Deep purple-red in appearance, this KANONKOP Stellenbosch Pinotage 2022 captivates with intense aromas of bold plums, wild berries, and luxurious vanilla, complemented by smoky notes and roasted nut complexity. The sumptuous palate delivers waves of dark fruits—plums, cherries, figs—alongside pomegranate, decadent dark chocolate, and spicy oak nuances. Velvety tannins merge perfectly with bright acidity, creating exceptional balance and a lingering finish. This remarkable wine promises outstanding aging potential that will reward your patience.

 

"This is a fragrant pinotage, showing mint-chocolate, cedar, cherry, spiced-plum and nutmeg aromas. Firm, spicy and full-bodied on the palate with firm yet ripe tannins and a long, spicy and focused finish. Better after 2025."
