Kanonkop – Kadette Pinotage Rosé 2022 Stellenbosch – South Africa 🇿🇦
Overview: Crafted from Pinotage, a grape born from crossing Pinot Noir and Cinsault, this rosé highlights the unique South African innovation with a refreshing, modern expression.
Aromas & Flavors: Delicate red berries, watermelon, and pomegranate on the nose, with crisp citrus undertones. The palate follows through with juicy red fruit, a whisper of floral notes, and a refreshing mineral streak.
Mouthfeel: Light, bright, and energetic. Crisp acidity keeps it lively, with a clean, thirst-quenching finish.
Food Pairings: Excellent with grilled shrimp, sushi, light salads, or simply as a refreshing aperitif on a warm day.
Verdict: A distinctive rosé that showcases the brilliance of Pinotage beyond its traditional red wine style. Juicy, crisp, and not so common, a refreshing take on a proudly South African grape. Cheers!
Did You Know? Pinotage was created in 1925 by South African scientist Abraham Perold, who crossed Pinot Noir and Cinsault (locally called Hermitage). While often debated for its red wine style, Pinotage has found new life in rosé and sparkling versions, loved for their vibrancy and freshness. — 11 hours ago
Deep ruby colour with lighter crimson rim, nose of red/black fruits with savoury notes. Smooth and silky tannins and really well integrated at 9 years. Beautiful on palate with good aftertaste and a lingering finish. — 2 months ago
Great now and will age beautifully. Typical Muscat florals, but I love the balancing act of sugar concentration and acidity in this vintage. Elderflower and bruised stone fruit. Wonderfully fresh. 👌🏼 — a month ago
See earlier note, this is a great Bordeaux blend- 75% Cab Sauvignon , 14% Cab Franc and 11% Merlot. A deep ruby colour with nice berry fruit nose and good acidity and long finish. Excellent wine — 24 days ago
