Peter Falke Signature Kanoa 2019

Once de-stemmed, the berries underwent a second-hand sorting selection process. No crushing of the berries took place and was inoculated with yeast to start the alcoholic fermentation process. Once completed, cold-soaking took place for one day at 15°C. The grapes were left on the skins for 21 days. Punch-downs and pump-overs occurred regularly ensuring smooth well-structured tannins. Finally, the wine was lightly pressed and matured for 18 months in French oak barrels. Twenty percent went into 1st fill French oak and the rest into 2nd and 3rd fill.

Only berries of premium quality were hand-picked in the vineyard, leaving all sunburnt berries on the vine.

Should be enjoyed now, but can be aged for a further 8 - 10 years from vintage if stored in the correct conditions.

77 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc

This bold wine pairs well with flavourful roasted or grilled lamb or beef and a creamy sauce.

The exclusive winery of Peter Falke is nestled against the majestic slopes of the Helderberg Mountains in the heart of the Stellenbosch winelands, South Africa. Groenvlei Farm is home to rambling magenta bougainvillea, delicate scented roses and wild lavender growing alongside carefully cultivated vineyards. Dating back to the 18th century, the traditional gabled Cape Dutch buildings of the wine estate belie a contrasting modernity within. The stately old homestead is partnered by a “boutique” winery, contemporary wine tasting room and luxurious outdoor lounge which have established Peter Falke Wines as the most elegant and serene sundowner retreat in the winelands. The Falke family has been doing business in South Africa since 1969. Peter Falke was born in Germany. His dream to own a farm came true when he acquired Groenvlei in 1995. His wife, Danià¨le is French and an interior designer. Her taste and talent is expressed in the smallest details at Groenvlei.
