Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2022 750ml

Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2022: Stellenbosch’s Crowning Jewel

Experience South Africa’s most iconic Bordeaux-style red blend. The legendary Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2022 emerges from the prestigious slopes of the Simonsberg-Stellenbosch region. This highly sought-after vintage delivers spectacular elegance, deep complexity, and world-class aging potential.

The 2022 growing season was remarkably cool and wet during winter. This led to a late budbreak and slow, even ripening. The resulting fruit shows incredible refinement. This specific vintage is also highly historic. It features the largest Cabernet Franc component in the history of the Paul Sauer blend.

This deep ruby wine reveals a complex nose of cherries, cassis, tea leaves, and sweet spice box. The palate bursts with dark berry fruit, fine-grained tannins, and beautifully integrated French oak.
