About this Item

Paul Sauer, 2006
1 (1 x 1) 12000ml

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.

Critics Ratings

‘Iconic blend led by cab, with cabernet franc, merlot - 65/20/15 in 06; classic style after more modern 05; impressively powerful: dense, richly layered fruit shows remarkable depth & complexity. 2 yrs new Fr oak effortlessly absorbed.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 5* (2010)
