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.

Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage
‘Diesel Pinotage’ is certainly an unusual name for a wine. However, it is easily explained once you know the history behind it. ‘Diesel’ was the name of the dog of Beyer Truters, the owner of the Beyerskloof estate. The dog was his beloved, loyal and constant companion. Diesel was always at his side, whether in the vineyards, in the cellar or in his office, so it was only logical that Beyers Truters named his best wine after his ‘best’ friend.The grapes for the Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage come from bush vines that are cultivated without wire trellis training systems. In South Africa, the bush vine method is often used specifically for Pinotage. The fermentation took place in open barrels for 5 days at an average temperature of 78.8° F, while the must was pressed down every 2 hours. Subsequently, the malolactic fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards, the wine matured for 18 months in new French oak casks. Only 20 out of a total of 300 filled barrels were chosen to produce the Diesel Pinotage.The Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage is a deep purple in the glass. Its bouquet is characterised by complex aromas of blackberries and dark fruit, complemented by elegant notes of cedar wood. On the palate, the wine shows a fine but complex structure of black and red fruit. This Pinotage is truly a superb wine, captivating with its outstanding balance between fruit and wood. This wine has an outstanding ageing potential and it is expected to be a genuine delight over the next 10 years or even longer.It is an ideal accompaniment to spicy Indian cuisine or a well-matured rump steak. The Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage is arguably one of the best Pinotage wines from the Cape.

Lanzerac Pinotage
The grapes for the Lanzerac Pinotage come from vineyards that are located between 400 and 420 metres above sea level. The prevailing wind cools the grapes in hot summers. The soils consist mainly of decomposed granite, enhancing the vines’ deep growth and improving water retention in the soil. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks with regular pumping over, the Lanzerac Pinotage matured for 15 months in first-, second- and third-fill oak casks.At this point, the optimal integration between fruit and wood was completed, resulting in a wine of excellent colour with fragrances of ripe berries and plums. On the palate, the Lanzerac Pinotage is velvety, dense, full-bodied and complex, showing a lovely balance. Aromas of high-quality chocolate and notes of caramel enhance the taste experience along with wonderfully integrated tannins.Enjoy the Lanzerac Pinotage with venison medallions in plum sauce or Asian curry dishes.
