Description
Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage is a red wine from the Stellenbosch wine region in South Africa, made from the Pinotage grape variety, which is a signature grape of the country. The wine is named after the Kadette building on the Kanonkop Estate, where the first wines were produced in 1973.
The wine has a deep ruby color with purple hues and a complex aroma of red and black fruit, such as blackberry, raspberry, and cherry, with notes of vanilla, spice, and a subtle hint of smokiness. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with firm tannins and a balanced acidity. The fruit flavours are complemented by notes of oak, vanilla, and spice, leading to a long and smooth finish.
Kadette Pinotage is a well-structured and elegant wine that benefits from aging. It is aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The result is a wine that is well-rounded, with a good balance of fruit and oak flavours.
This wine pairs well with grilled meats, spicy dishes, and strong cheeses. It is a great choice for those who enjoy a full-bodied and rich red wine with a unique South African character. Overall, Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage is a great example of the quality and character that can be found in South African wines.
