About this Item

Cabernet Sauvignon, 1991
1 (1 x 1) 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.

The Cabernet Sauvignon forms part of the 3-tiered, reds only fine offering under the Kanonkop label. Renowned for decades of ageing, Kanonkop’s Cabernet Sauvignon is austere when young and ages with grace.

Critics Ratings

‘Rich but rustic tobacco, dried cherry and chestnut character. Full-bodied and thick with velvety tannins, yet slightly dry on the finish. Drink now.' - James Suckling, Winespectator.com (1995)
