Kadette Cabernet Sauvignon - Kanonkop

IN BRIEF

📍 Stellenbosch · 100% Cabernet Sauvignon An elegant, intense, and highly drinkable red wine Aged for 12 months in French oak

Why We Love It

It is the most immediate expression of Cabernet Sauvignon according to Kanonkop. It maintains the winery's classic style but features softer tannins and a more accessible approach, making it ideal both for a special dinner and everyday enjoyment.

Wine Profile

The nose reveals aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, sweet oak spices, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is balanced and juicy, with well-defined fruit, velvety tannins, and an elegant, lingering finish.

The Kanonkop Signature

Crafted under the direction of winemaker Abrie Beeslaar, the Kadette Cabernet Sauvignon originates from selected Stellenbosch vineyards. It serves as the perfect gateway to the style of one of South Africa's most prestigious estates.

Food Pairing

Perfect with steaks, braised meats, game, lamb shanks, stews, and aged cheeses.

Service

Serve at 16–18°C in a large wine glass. It is highly enjoyable today but can evolve beautifully for several years.

Origin

Wine of Origin Stellenbosch, South Africa.

In the vineyard

The grapes come from Stellenbosch vineyards aged between 10 and 20 years, grown on decomposed granite soils. The vines benefit from supplementary irrigation during drier periods and produce controlled yields of approximately 7 tons per hectare, promoting aromatic concentration and balance.
Vine age: 10 to 20 years.

In the cellar

Fermentation took place in open concrete vats at 28°C, with mechanical punch-downs every two hours to ensure delicate extraction of color and tannins. After 5-6 days of maceration and malolactic fermentation, the wine aged for 12 months in used 225-liter French barriques.
