Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage 2022

Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage 2022

R150,00

Attractive deep plum, with scented aromas of red currants, black cherry, strawberry confit and nutmeg and wood spice. The palate is medium-full bodied and opulent, with finely textured tannins and flavours of red pastille sweets, bright cherries and a hint of nutmeg oak spice and dark chocolate. The acidity is in balance with the fruit and wood components, and adds a sparkle of freshness to the red and black fruit flavours on the finish.

More Information

In the cellar

Fermentation took place in open top concrete fermenters at 28 C. e floating skins were punched down mechanically, every 2 hours during fermentation. e juice was drawn off the skins aer 3 days. Aer malolactic fermentation the wine was matured for 12 months in 2 and 3 fill 225L French Nevers oak barrels.

In the vineyard

2022 was the latest in the past 25 years, about 2 weeks later than normal. We had a proper cold winter with enough rain, that resulted in budbreak that was 2 weeks late. e earlier part of the season was quite cool, with December showing lower maximum and minimum temperatures. January was more moderate with a couple of hot days. We had slow ripening conditions that resulted in concentrated fruit development and palate weight.
