Weingut Kanonkop

The Winery Kanonkop has been family-owned for 4 generations and is currently run by the brothers Paul and Johann Krige. The name Kanonkop is derived from a hill (kop) on the Simonsberg above the Winery, from which a cannon (kanon) was fired in the 17th and 18th centuries to announce the arrival of sailing ships in Table Bay. The booming of the cannon was the signal for the local farmers, who were waiting to load their wagons with fresh fruit and vegetables and begin the 50-kilometer journey to the harbor. The first wines labeled Kanonkop were produced in 1973. The beginning of international recognition is largely owed to the unfortunately deceased Paul Sauer, who created the first wines.

Kanonkop Pinotage

Pinotage is the flagship of South African viticulture. The grape variety has its origin in South Africa. Pinotage is still grown almost exclusively in South Africa, nearly a hundred years after its creation.

Pinotage shows an incredible diversity. Its styles range from coffee & Chocolate to plum & banana aromas. Thus, Pinotage is a true all-rounder. This is reflected in the increased use of the Pinotage grape in cuvées, blends, and also rosé wines. Even white wines (Blanc-de-Noir) are produced from Pinotage.

The history of Pinotage begins with its creator, Prof. Abraham Izak Perold. After his professorship in 1906, Perold was sent by the government in Cape Town on a mission to search for new grape varieties.

In 1925, Perold successfully crossed Pinot Noir and Cinsaut for the first time, which was then known as Hermitage. This is where the name PINO - TAGE comes from.
