About this Item

Paul Sauer, 2000
1 (1 x 1) 15000ml

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.

This wine has been checked and re-corked by the producer under supervision assuring providence, quality and long life.

Critics Ratings

‘Great character in this throwback wine, with a thicket of dark currant, blackberry, tar, beef, chestnut, mineral and sanguine flavors. Long finish is etched with bittersweet chocolate and another layer of really ripe blackberry fruit. Impressive. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.’ - James Molesworth, Winespectator.com, 92/100 (2004)
