"Amongst the coolest and latest vintages in years producing supple and elegant reds" is what The Platters Wine Guide said of 1997. A vintage that many regarded as continental in style. Kanonkop produced a deep red full bodied Pinotage. Strong oak tannins and berry flavours. A well balanced wine from 52 year old vines. .
