KANONKOP PINOTAGE MAGNUM 1500 ml

Description

Discover the bold spirit of South Africa's wine heritage with Kanonkop Pinotage Magnum, a commanding 1.5-liter bottle that captures the essence of a grape born from innovation. Back in 1924, Professor Abraham Perold, leading oenology and viticulture at Stellenbosch University, boldly crossed Pinot Noir with Cinsaut—known locally then as Hermitage—giving birth to Pinotage, the heartbeat of the nation's red wine identity. This magnum edition traces its roots to the inaugural 1973 vintage, pouring out a robust 14.5% ABV that promises depth and presence for any gathering or quiet indulgence.

Raise a glass to scents that pull you in: fresh blueberries mingling with the sweetness of ripe plums and dark black cherries, laced through with warm cinnamon and smooth vanilla. On the tongue, it unfolds in sultry waves of luxury—think rich berry compote layered over wild bramble tang, echoes of plum tart, and hints of spicy Christmas cake that build intensity without overwhelming. Ripe tannins weave seamlessly into the fruit core, crafting a texture that's both dense and expansive, inviting you to savor every moment.

The finish lingers with subtle spice and plush black cherry notes, leaving an elegant trail that's built to evolve over time. Hailing from South Africa, this Pinotage stands tall as a testament to a variety that defines its homeland, perfect for those who seek a red wine with character and generosity in every pour. Whether pairing with hearty meals or standing solo, its 1.5-liter format ensures the celebration stretches on, making it an effortless choice for collectors, hosts, or anyone ready to explore South African red wine prowess.

At the heart of Kanonkop Pinotage Magnum lies more than varietal purity—it's a narrative of pioneering vision bottled for today's table. Dry and expressive with a sweetness level of 01, it delivers the poise of a wine that's as versatile as it is memorable, urging you to add it to your cart and let the flavors tell their story.
