About this Item
Often described as the South African equivalent of a Grand Cru or First Growth, Kanonkop Estate is situated on the Simonsberg mountain slopes on the outskirts of Stellenbosch. Owned by the fourth generation Krige family, Abri Beeslaar is their long-term winemaker who has won International Winemaker of the year an incredible 3 times.
This internationally acclaimed, long-ageing Bordeaux blend was named after former owner, Paul Sauer, and was first made in 1981.
Following the excitement surrounding the marquee lot in our July sale this year, we are proud to offer yet another rare vertical of South Africa's most iconic red wine in large format, this time directly from the producer. From the Platter 5* 2006 vintage, complete to the equally coveted 2017 (Platter 5*, TA 98 Points) and of course including the perfect score 2015, each vintage of the Paul Sauer offers something unique, yet uniform excellence.
‘South Africa’s first growth across 12 vintages is a collectors dream! Rare, refined and rewarding over time’ – Roland Peens
