Kanonkop Wine Estate : Pinotage 2022

A round, focused red, with a toasty edge to its flavours of fig cake, raspberry compote, vanilla and singed sage. This is bright, with blood orange peel–infused acidity, and light, fine tannins define the savoury finish of fragrant spices and tarry smoke. Drink now through 2032. 750 cases imported.

This is a fragrant pinotage, showing mint-chocolate, cedar, cherry, spiced-plum and nutmeg aromas. Firm, spicy and full-bodied on the palate with firm yet ripe tannins and a long, spicy and focused finish. Better after 2025.
