Tasting notes
The Peter Falke Signature Kanoa is the estate's flagship wine and embodies the highest quality. For this exquisite cuvée of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Cabernet Franc, only the best grapes were selected. The two red varieties give the wine an impressive bouquet of raspberries, plums and black cherries. On the palate these rich fruit notes unfold, masterfully underlined by fine oak nuances.
The silky tannins that the Peter Falke Signature Kanoa owes to its eighteen-month Aged in French oak provide an exceptionally soft mouthfeel. The refined red wine delights with a very long finish that invites pure enjoyment. It is also an excellent choice with aromatic dishes.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
