Kanonkop, "the cannon shot", a name inherited from local history, when a cannon shot was fired to warn the population of the arrival of a merchant ship. The vineyard is located at the foot of the Simonsberg Mountains, near Stellenbosch, on slopes culminating at 120 m. It covers about a hundred hectares planted with old vines only in red grape varieties. Kadette Cape Blend 2022 shows great elegance and impeccable balance.
A blend of 37% Pinotage, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Kadette Cape Blend begins with juicy red and black fruit essence over dusty purple flowers with plum skin, blackberry and hints of spice on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is open and expressive in the mouth with a balanced structure and fruit that is more red-berried, with plum and cherry essence. Ending with a lingering finish and lifting tannins, this represents a delightful wine that delivers well for the price. Give it a try.
The 2020 Kadette Cape Blend is a blend of 43% Pinotage, 33% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. The nose is straightforward and red-fruited while offering aromas of dusty black plums, bitter dark chocolate, turned earth and gravel. Medium to full-bodied, the wine has a mineral-driven palate, with less emphasis on fruit, before ending with a quick finish.
