Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2021
R1,070.00
A rich blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 13% Cabernet Franc.
A classic, perfumed nose packed with cherries, cassis, cedar, cigar box, tea leaves and tomato paste, followed by a palate of cassis, cranberries, savoury plum and sweet vanilla. A complex multi-layered, refined wine with a beautiful structure, balanced acidity, elegant, fine-grained tannins and a long, persistent finish.
Five days on skins in open fermenters at 29°C. The floating skins were punched down by hand every 2 hours during fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured for 24 months in 100% new 225L French Nevers oak barrels.

Description
Warmer periods during the latter part of the winter resulted in some uneven budding, flowering and fruit set. The moisture levels in the soils were satisfactory throughout the growing and ripening phase, and very little moisture stress was noticeable on the vines. The late start to the 2021 harvest was one of the distinguishing hallmarks of this vintage. The cooler growing conditions of the 2021 vintage resulted in elegant wines.
