On to the tasting!
When we entered the tasting room, we saw on a table 7 Bottles of wine in 7 different sizes. Great display!
They have 2 Ranges of their wines.
We started with the Kadette Range
- First up was a 2022 Pinotage Rosé – very light and refreshing
- Next was the 2020 Cape Blend – a blend of 43%Pinotage, 33% merlot, 22%Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc
- Then the 2020 100% Pinotage – delicious
- Followed by the 100% Cabernet Sauvignon – also delicious.
Moved on to the Estate Range – this is a more expensive lineup
- 2020 Pinotage
- 2013 Pinotage
- 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon – Fabulous!
Then we tasted 2 of the Paul Sauer (Kanonkops Patriarch) wines which are bordeaux blends
- 2011 – 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and 12% Merlot
- 2019 – 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc and 11% Merlot
The last hurrah was their ever famous, ever expensive 2019 Black Label Pinotage – this wine is made from a single vineyard and has won many awards.
