This is not intended to age as long as the estate Pinotage and as it's really drinkable now why not do like me and have a case of each and drink the Kadette while the estate wine ages.

WoTM - Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage 2012
Kadette is now the label of Kanonkop’s wines made from
non-estate fruit. With the 2012 vintage a red Pinotage was added to the Kadette
line-up of the original Cape Blend and the pink Pinotage.
I bought a case of the Kadette Pinotage as soon as it
appeared in the UK, and it’s my Wine of the Month for September 2014.
What you get is a wine made by Kanonkop’s Pinotage master
Abrie Beeslaar for a third (at the winery) or half (in the UK) of the price of
his estate wine. Fruit comes from younger vines (5-20 years) and the wine is aged
for 14 months in second fill French oak barrels.
This is not intended to age as long as the estate Pinotage and as it's really drinkable now why not do like me and have a case of each and drink the Kadette while the estate wine ages.
I found lots of forward berry fruit, delicious Pinotage
flavours and soft ready tannins. A lovely approachable wine with Kanonkop class
and a ideal WoTM.
