About this Item

2008 Black Label Pinotage
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,

The Black Label was introduced as a limited-edition bottling with the 2006 vintage, cementing the team’s confidence in South Africa’s own red variety. Black Label is made from one of the oldest Pinotage vineyards in South Africa, one planted in 1953 on a site that has over the years proved to produce fruit of specific excellence and deemed special enough to be bottled under an own label.

Provenance

Wine Cellar Private Client

Critics Ratings

‘Slightly less full and the best fruit integrity of the line-up. Fresh acidity, appropriate tannic grip. Perhaps the most true to the property.’ - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 17.5/20 (2012)
