Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage 2021

Delve into the essence of tradition and expertise with this meticulously crafted wine, a celebration of excellence with each sip. Fermented in open-top concrete fermenters at an ideal temperature of 28°C, our wine undergoes a careful process, with the floating skins mechanically punched down every two hours to ensure optimal flavour extraction. Following a precise three-day maceration period, the juice is gently drawn off the skins, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and character. Post-malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in 2nd and 3rd fill 225L French Nevers oak barrels, imparting delicate hints of nutmeg and wood spice. As you pour, admire the attractive deep plum hue, accompanied by fragrant aromas of red currants, black cherry, and strawberry confit, intertwined with subtle notes of nutmeg and wood spice. On the palate, revel in the medium-full-bodied opulence, with finely textured tannins and flavours of red pastille sweets, bright cherries, and a touch of dark chocolate. Balanced acidity adds a refreshing lift to the finish, enhancing the lingering red and black fruit flavours. Immerse yourself in the harmonious interplay of flavours and textures, where each sip narrates a tale of dedication and mastery.
