An underestimated vintage which produced some stellar reds. Kanonkop 2012 Pinotage is a complex wine which showed some red and black fruit flavours when young. After some bottle age this wine will start to show some farmyard, earthy and forest floor characteristics. Now, a decade and more after the vintage it has matured beautifully into an elegant but bold showpiece of a wine.
