    This is a great article.
    Kanonkop is such a great producer it means “Cannon Hill” A little bit of history with this is that it comes from the days when the cannon was fired to signal the arrival of the Dutch trade ships into Cape Town. We carry one of their wines called Kaddette. It’s a pinotage blend. 54% pinotage and the rest is made up of bordeaux grapes. Its a beautiful fully body wine with a bananas and cherries on the palate with a slightly peppery finish.
