Strauss & Co is proud to offer one of South Africa’s most iconic red wine - Kanonkop Paul Sauer - over 3 decades in a large format vertical. ‘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 Director of Wine Cellar, Strauss & Co Fine Wine Auction partners
