About this Item
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.
Paul Sauer is their internationally acclaimed, long-aging Bordeaux blend and the 2015 is the first wine from the ‘New World’ awarded 100 points by renowned critic Tim Atkin MW!
Critics Ratings
'This has a winey core of steeped currant and fig fruit, lined with singed cinnamon and tobacco notes. Shows a juicy tug through the finish, with an echo of mesquite. Displays solid range and depth. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Drink now through 2020.' – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (May 2017)
'The 2013 Paul Sauer has a black and red-fruited nose with wafts of spice and dusty minerality. The palate is focused and balanced, with a dense and chewy core that moves from fruit expression to dark chocolate and soft flower notes. It has grippy tannins and the finish is bold, long and balanced with a pleasantly grippy tannic edge.' – Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Oct 2019)
