mehrere Informationen

The Cannonkop Cadet Cape Blend is a lively and immensely delicious cuvée of deep red colour in the glass. Heavenly aromas of redcurrants, juicy cherries, fine spices and fragrant mochas enmesh the nose and continue seamlessly to the lively and juicy palate, which pampers with delicious nuances of fine raspberry. The structure is finely balanced with a fresh acidity and a dry and remarkably exciting finish - its tannins are firm, yet incredibly silky. The name Kanonkop is derived from Kopje (hill), from which a cannon was fired in the 17th century to alert the surrounding farmers that a ship was approaching. The farmers loaded their wagons full of fruit, vegetables and above all wine to sell the goods to the sailors. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for the Kanonkop Kadette come from 5 to 30 year old vines. After the harvest and after careful selection, the grapes were fermented on the skins for 3-5 days in open fermenting vats under "punch down" twice a day. After fermentation, the wine matured for 12 -14 months in second and third filled French Nevers oak barrels.
