Kanonkop Estate Kadette Pinotage 2019

From the renowned Kanonkop Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa, the Kadette Pinotage 2019 is a vibrant red showcasing the region’s signature grape. Crafted from 100% Pinotage, sourced from 15–30-year-old vines on decomposed granite soils, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel. Aged 12–14 months in French oak barrels (20% new), it offers a deep ruby hue and refined complexity.

Winemaking Process

Kanonkop’s traditional approach defines this wine. The 2019 vintage undergoes fermentation in open-top stainless steel tanks with regular punch-downs, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aging for 12–14 months in French oak barrels (20% new) balances fruit intensity with subtle oak, creating a medium-bodied Pinotage with smooth tannins and vibrant acidity.

Tasting Notes

The nose reveals blackberry, red cherry, and cassis, with hints of spice, smoked meat, and graphite. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and balanced, with fresh acidity, soft tannins, and flavors of dark fruit, mocha, and a clean, mineral finish.
