Vinifikation Kanonkop Estate is situated on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain in the Stellenbosch region of the Western Cape Province and falls under the Stellenberg ward, which is generally referred to as the “red wine bowl” of South Africa. This area has earned a reputation both locally and internationally as South Africa’s prime wine-growing area. Fermentation took place in open-top concrete fermenters at 29°C. The cap was punched down by hand every 2 hours during fermentation, and the wine was drawn off after 5 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matured for 24 months in 100% new 225L French Nevers oak barrels.
