Kanonkop Kadette Cape Blend 2021

Fermented in open-top concrete fermenters at optimal temperatures, this Pinotage-dominant red blend undergoes meticulous attention, with the floating skins punched down mechanically every two hours to extract maximum flavour. After a carefully timed maceration period, the juice is drawn off the skins, leading to a wine of exceptional depth and character. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine, a harmonious blend of 39% Pinotage, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, is aged for 12 months in 2nd and 3rd fill 225L French Nevers oak barrels, adding layers of complexity and refinement. Upon pouring, this crimson-red beauty reveals enticing aromas of raspberries, dark cherries, and black plums, interwoven with notes of cinnamon and allspice. On the palate, supple tannins and fresh acidity harmonise with a burst of fruit flavours, from juicy red and black fruits to a hint of chocolate, culminating in a lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression. Experience the symphony of flavours and textures in every sip of this meticulously crafted wine, a testament to our dedication to excellence.
