In the aftermath of the stupendous 2015 Paul Sauer the drought affected 2016 vintage wines followed. This Paul Sauer had some act to follow and did it with great aplomb. Classic Paul Sauer with all the hallmarks of a great SA Bordeaux style blend. Due to the high temperatures experienced in this period the full fruit makes it very drinkable in its youth but huge potential lies in keeping some stashed in the cellar for medium and long term maturation. Simply another fabulous Kanonkop wine, don’t miss out…
