Kanonkop Black Label Pinotage 2019

Ein „Icon“ Wein ist die Bezeichnung für einen Wein, der über Jahre eine Ausnahmestellung einnimmt. Und genau das hat der Kanonkop Black Label Pinotage geschafft. Dieser südafrikanische Pinotage kann wohl mit Recht behaupten etwas ganz Besonderes zu sein. Die Trauben stammen von 63 Jahre alten Bushvine Reben, so bezeichnet man die Reben, die in Buschform in Südafrika wachsen. Ein ganz natürlicher Rebenwuchs also, beim dem der Winzer nur durch Beschneiden in die Natur eingreift. Die Reben gedeihen auf trockenen Böden, die geprägt sind von zersetztem Granit und verwittertem Gestein. Der Ertrag pro Hektar ist mit 2,8 Tonnen äußerst gering, was für eine hohe Komplexität im Wein sorgt.

Die Fermentation erfolgte in offenen Betonbehältern. Die Maische wurde alle 2 Stunden manuell zusammengedrückt und der Saft wurde nach 3,5 Tagen von den Schalen abgezogen. Die Reifung fand für 18 Monate in 100% neuen französischen Barriquefässern statt. Dadurch erreicht der Kanonkop Black Label Pinotage komplexe Aromen von Schwarzkirsche, Pflaume und dunkler Schokolade mit einem Hauch von Zeder in der Nase. Am Gaumen ist er voll mit samtiger Tanninstruktur und Noten von roten und schwarzen Früchten. Das Finish ist langanhaltend und intensiv.

Kanonkop Estate

Das Weingut Kanonkop liegt an den unteren Hängen des Simonsberges in der Stellenbosch-Region der Westkap Provinz. Es liegt zwischen Stellenbosch und Paarl und fällt in den Simonsberg genannten Wahlkreis, der allgemein als „Rotweinbecken“ Südafrikas bezeichnet wird.

Neben der soliden Basis des Gutes in seinen Prinzipien der Weinherstellung, ist es auch reich an idealen Böden, kühlen Meeresbrisen und langen Sommertagen, die ein perfektes Klima für das Wachstum der Trauben bilden.

Das Weingut hat ein ideales Mikroklima für die Produktion von Rotwein, mit einer kühlen Brise von der Küste der False Bay an späten Sommernachmittagen, wodurch die hohen Inlandstemperaturen erheblich gemildert werden.

Mont du Toit Le Sommet
The renowned German winemaker Bernd Philippi created the Mont du Toit Le Sommet. This blend from South Africa definitely ranks among the South African top red wines. The bouquet of this outstanding blend unites notes of black currants, sour cherries and milk chocolate, along with fine nuances of mint and nutmeg. Initially, the wine once again offers aromas of sour cherries and plums on the palate. This fruitiness is complemented by a velvety elegance and depth, while the noticeable tannins are well-integrated. The individual grape varieties were aged separately and matured for 12 months in oak casks, after which the blend was aged for a further 11 months. The selection of the grapes for this fascinating ruby-red wine was carried out with the utmost care. This assemblage is a good accompaniment to beef or lamb.

Spier 21 Gables Pinotage
For the South African winemakers a good Pinotage is always a challenge. Pinotage makes special demands on the quality of the vineyards and the art of the wine. In the Private Collection the wines have great strength and great depth and it is the art too tame the Pinotage so it becomes not too hard and dry. Perfectly ripe grapes are therefore an important condition. It is taken by the grapes from their own vineyards of Spier in Stellenbosch, where no more than 50 hectoliters per hectare Pinotage is harvested. The grapes are picked by hand in order to arrive undamaged in the basement, without oxidation. The Private Selection is made of only the best parts of the vineyard. The fermentation takes place after a short cold maceration, some in open containers. Then the wine is aged in a mixture of French and American oak barrels. American Wood emphasizes the bright and intense sweet fruit from the Pinotage and accentuates the beautiful character of this variety to a particular way. Colour: intense ruby red. Fragrance: Subtle fragrance with caramalised black cherries, hints of dark spice and dark chocolate. Taste: delicious fruit and elegant taste, pleasant feel of wood and vanilla with a light seasoning, a continuing strength, with great length and nice ripe tannins. Can be drunk now, but can also improve 4 to 7 years.Delicious with a beautiful bouquet with black pepper steak, pasta with pesto and black olives, ripe cheese.
