Vinification Details

Fermentation in open top concrete fermenters at 28°C with the floating skins punched down mechanically every 2 hours during fermentation. The juice was drawn off the skins after 3 - 5 days. After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured for 12 months in older 225L French Nevers oak barrels

History

A fourth generation family estate, it was originally purchased by JW Sauer and has been in the family ever since. Famed for its red wines and particularly its Pinotage. The name Kanonkop is derived from a hillock (kop) on the Simonsberg mountain above the wine estate from where, during the 17th and 18th centuries, a cannon (kanon) was fired to announce the arrival of sailing ships entering Table Bay. The first wines bearing the Kanonkop label were produced in 1973.

Regional Information

Arguably South Africa's most famous wine producing region, the vineyards of Stellenbosch take advantage of the area's topography with many nestling on the lower slopes of the Helderberg and Simonsberg ranges.
