Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage 2024
Pinotage
Description
Kanonkop Wine Estate is one of South Africa’s most respected names in red wine, based on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg mountain in Stellenbosch. The estate has played a leading role in building the reputation of Pinotage, combining traditional cellar methods with careful vineyard management and a strong sense of place. Warm days, cooling maritime influence and decomposed granite soils help produce grapes with ripe fruit character while retaining freshness and structure.
The Kadette range offers a more approachable expression of the Kanonkop style, while still reflecting the quality and consistency the estate is known for. For the 2024 vintage, the wine was fermented in open-top concrete tanks and matured for 12 months in older French oak barrels, adding texture and complexity without dominating the fruit.
Colour:
Deep purple-red in the glass with a youthful, vibrant rim.
Nose:
Bright aromas of cherries, red and black plums lead the way, followed by cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of cedar spice.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with juicy fruit at the core. Flavours of black plum, cherry and a hint of liquorice are supported by fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. Plush enough to satisfy, yet fresh enough to stay lively.
Finish:
Long, clean and gently savoury, with lingering dark fruit and spice.

- Food Pairing : Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage 2024 is a versatile red that suits everyday South African dining. Try it with flame-grilled boerewors, beef burgers, sticky pork ribs or braaied chicken thighs, where the wine’s juicy fruit softens smoky char flavours. It also works well with tomato-based pasta dishes and lamb mince bobotie, as the freshness keeps richer dishes feeling balanced while the gentle tannins add structure. Thai-inspired dishes with mild spice can also be a smart match.
