Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2015:
70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot
Tasting Notes: Complex and perfumed on the nose, with a layered fruit spectrum of cassis, plums and sour cherries which are further complimented by notes of tobacco, cedar wood and cigar box. The full and rich expression of the 2015 vintage, which is expressively fruit forward and opulent, will stand the test of time and be very rewarding to those with some patience.

Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2018:
70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot.
Tasting Notes: The saturated ruby colour is complimented by an array of scents typically associated with Paul Sauer – fresh herbs, tilled earth, pencil shavings, spice, red- and black fruits. While being heady and perfumed, the wine remains classic and refined, with an utterly elegant structure. The tannins are precise, and together with the clever use of new oak, creates the perfect backdrop to host the complex fruit spectrum. The finish is sappy and spicy, with layered notes of red fruits and cured meats on the long, youthful finish.
