Pinotage 2013 Late Release - Kanonkop

Pinotage 2013 Late Release - Kanonkop Wine Estate

Varietal: Pinotage 100%.

Pinotage is a native grape variety of South Africa, born in 1925 from a unique cross between Pinot Noir and Hermitage (or Cinsaut). The father of Pinotage was Abraham Izak Perold, a university professor and winemaker who sought the best resistance to the dry summers of the Western Cape region of South Africa.

Rare late release of Pinotage from Kanonkop.

A complex and fruity Pinotage. After some bottle aging, this Pinotage will begin to show some earthy and underbrush characteristics.

Table pairings: Pinotage perfect to go with red meats and, drunk now, with lamb.

Production: 75,000 bottles.

Expected evolution: Kanonkop's Pinotage gives its best within 15 years of bottling.

Alcohol content: 14.5%
