Kadette Cape Blend 2021 - Kanonkop

AT A GLANCE

📍 Stellenbosch · Cape Blend (Pinotage 39%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%, Merlot 27%, Cabernet Franc 3%, Petit Verdot 1%) Balanced, fruity, and versatile red wine Aged 12 months in French Nevers oak

Why We Love It

It is the Cape Blend that best interprets the Kanonkop style in a more accessible version. The Pinotage brings personality and fruitiness, while the Bordeaux varieties add elegance, structure, and smoothness, creating a balanced and enjoyable wine from the very first sip.

Wine Profile

The bouquet offers aromas of raspberry, black cherry, plum, cinnamon, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is juicy and harmonious, with soft tannins, vibrant freshness, and a persistent finish where red and black fruits emerge alongside a delicate note of chocolate.

The Kanonkop Signature

Crafted under the guidance of Abrie Beeslaar, the Kadette Cape Blend comes from selected vineyards in Stellenbosch. It represents an authentic introduction to the style of great South African Cape Blends: rich, balanced, and deeply connected to the terroir.

Food Pairing

Perfect with pizza, pasta, grilled meats, roast chicken, beef or lamb burgers, and stews.

Serving Suggestion

Serve at 16-18°C in a large wine glass. A brief aeration further enhances its aromas.

Origin

Wine of Origin Stellenbosch, South Africa.

In the vineyard

The grapes are sourced from Stellenbosch vineyards ranging from 5 to 30 years old, grown on decomposed granite and Hutton soils. The vines benefit from supplementary irrigation and produce average yields of approximately 7 tons per hectare, fostering a perfect balance between aromatic intensity and freshness.

In the cellar

Each varietal was vinified separately in open concrete tanks at 28°C. During fermentation, mechanical punch-downs were performed every two hours for a gentle extraction of color and tannins. After 3-5 days of maceration and malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months in second and third-use 225-liter Nevers French oak barriques.
