This classic wine with a rich ruby red color is underpinned by a dense complexity of ploughed earth, bouquet garni, red and black currants, and cedarwood. The wine is refined, with an elegant structure, precise tannins, and together with the skillful use of new oak, it creates the perfect backdrop for the complex fruit spectrum. The finish is long and youthful.

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.
