Strauss & Co is proud to offer South Africa's most iconic red wine - Kanonkop Paul Sauer - over 3 decades in two rare, large format verticals. 'This is one of the most impressive collections of South African wine I have ever seen. Few wines are bottled regularly in large format, especially 30 years ago, making such a vertical almost unique. Not only will this provide extraordinary drinking on many occasions, but the collection also offers fine investment potential' says Roland Peens CEO of Wine Cellar, Strauss & Co Fine Wine Auction partners

• These double-magnum and jeroboam verticals herald from a private collection that has been perfectly stored in the Kanonkop cellars since the first release.
• 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.
