Description
 
The name Kanonkop is derived from a kopje (hillock), from which a cannon was fired in the 17th Century to alert farmers of ships approaching the Cape. Today, Kanonkop is a fourth generation family estate situated on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain in the Stellenbosch Region. They have been described by those in the know as the South African equivalent of a Premier Cru or First Growth and their collection of international awards is testament to this success.

The 2012 Pinotage Stellenbosch, which is also raised in 80% new oak, has a little more vigor and opulence compared to the 2011, with orange–sorbet infused black fruit, a touch of crème de cassis and licorice. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine candied entry, lovely orange sorbet and marmalade notes with a touch of allspice and white pepper toward the finish. Lovely.Wine Advocate 91 (2012)
