About this Item

Cabernet Sauvignon, 1995
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

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.

Renowned for decades of ageing, Kanonkop’s Cabernet Sauvignon is austere when young and ages with grace.

Critics Ratings

“Impressively fresh and composed. Elegant and classic in many ways, but with the savoury, meaty footprint of the Kanonkop Cabernets from the 1990s. Seamless, yet mouth-wateringly dry finish.” - Higgo Jacobs 2019, 93/100
