Product Notes

Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage is an exquisite South African full-bodied red wine. It presents a stunning intense ruby garnish, and carries alluring aromas of mocha, dark cherry, and mulberry. This Pinotage delivers complex flavours of juicy ripe plum, balanced by hints of tobacco and undergrowth, creating a robust yet smooth taste. Affectionately matured in French oak barrels, the wine imparts a hint of spice in its finish. This, coupled with its sophisticated tannin structure, makes it a perfect companion to hearty meat dishes. Its lingering palate promises an unforgettable wine-drinking experience. Enjoy the harmonious symphony of Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage.

Tasting Notes

Intense purple hues with lively aromas of fresh plums, mulberries and allspice, followed by a meaty undertone. The palate displays an inherent earthy touch, with flavours of crimson beetroot and maraschino cherries. Coherent balance between the fruit and the fresh acidity, with muscular support from the tightly-woven tannin structure.
