The Kanonkop Pinotage 2012 is a complex wine with hints of red fruit and mocha flavours. Elegant tannin structures with a good length and dry finish.
Kanonkop’s 10 year re-release of the award winning 2012 Kanonkop Pinotage is a very complex wine with hints of red fruit which reflects some Pinot Noir elegance and structure. Back in 2000 winemaker Johann Krige made the bold decision to hold back a number of vintages to show how well Pinotage would age. He has now been releasing limited bottles every 10 years. For comparison we also have the current 2017 (Magnum – very rare), and 2018 vintages available to purchase.

You’d expect this wine to be good in a stellar vintage like 2015, and so it is.

Overview
100% Pinotage wine. Deep intense plum colour with a purple hue. A bold intensity of black plum, red and blackberries and a concentration of vanilla and aromatic sweet spice. The wine was matured for 18 months in French barrels. This vintage offers a good complexity with layered flavours that is balanced and accessible, but will continue to develop and integrate for years to come.
