Kanonkop Estate Paul Sauer 2018 (Cabernet/Cabernet Franc/Merlot)
$500
Kanonkop Estate Paul Sauer 2018 (Cabernet/Cabernet Franc/Merlot)
Stellenbosch, South Africa
A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. The saturated ruby colour is complimented by an array of scents typically associated with Paul Sauer – fresh herbs, tilled earth, pencil shavings, spice, red- and black fruits. While being heady and perfumed, the wine remains classic and refined, with an utterly elegant structure. The tannins are precise, and together with the clever use of new oak, creates the perfect backdrop to host the complex fruit spectrum. The finish is sappy and spicy, with layered notes of red fruits and cured meats on the long, youthful finish.
Perfect match with all types of steak, meat casseroles, roast leg of lamb and matured cheeses.
Alc. 14%

Winery Profile
KANONKOP ESTATE – Stellenbosch
The name Kanonkop is derived from a kopje (hillock), from which a cannon was fired in the 17th Century to alert farmers of ships approaching the Cape. Today, Kanonkop is a fourth generation family estate situated on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain in the Stellenbosch Region. They have been described by those in the know as the South African equivalent of a Premier Cru or First Growth and their collection of international awards is testament to this success.
