Critics Ratings
'The Kanonkop Pinotage does a beautiful job of maintaining the grape's unique indigenous character-on the nose you'll find trademark smoke, banana and plum, and on the palate, like flavors, with an added clove and leather touch. There's also an appealing cherry-mocha spin that gives the wine additional draw. Pair with smoky BBQ ribs, steak.' - Wine Enthusiast
'On the nose, plums, red cherries, a little incense-like fragrance, earth and spice. The palate meanwhile was medium-bodied with pure fruit and fresh acidity, the tannins already quite soft and mellow. I'm sure it will go for yonks but equally I wasn't too regretful about opening it now.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100 (Nov 2015)
