Kanonkop Kadette

Kanonkop · Stellenbosch · South Africa

Kanonkop Kadette is an red wine from South Africa, in the Stellenbosch region (South Africa's Western Cape, in a valley around the historic university town of Stellenbosch, near Cape Town.), made principally from Pinotage. Stellenbosch's most famous Pinotage — smoky, structured and proudly South African.

In character, this value tier delivers the classic pinotage profile — dark fruit, smoke, earth, spice — with the structural stamp of Stellenbosch and a high-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
