are particularly characteristic. Deeply rooted in tradition and terroir-driven viticulture, Kanonkop produces wines that reflect the unique character of their origin. Wine lovers appreciate the consistency and distinctive style that make Kanonkop a fixture in the wine world.
Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The Paul Sauer 2020 from Kanonkop Winery has a rich ruby-red colour. This lively red wine also stands out from other red wines for its intense fruit aromas.
The nose offers notes of red berries, fresh spices and subtle hints of cedar. On the palate, the Paul Sauer 2020 from Kanonkop Winery impresses with classic dark berry aromas and an elegant character.
The tannins are gently and precisely integrated, and together with the skilful use of new oak, provide the perfect backdrop for the complex fruit profile. The finish is juicy and spicy.



Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Cabernet Franc
This cuvée combines dark fruit, spicy freshness and firm structure. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot complement each other with aromas of blackcurrant, cherry and plum: while the former typically contributes colour and firm tannins, Merlot often adds richness and a softer texture. Cabernet Franc often brings herbal, subtly peppery notes and supports the freshness. Acidity and tannins give the blend definition without any one variety necessarily dominating the palate.
The combination is particularly well known from Bordeaux , but is also found in Tuscany and other international wine regions. In the glass, it is usually ruby red to deep dark red. Depending on the climate and ageing, the style ranges from fresh and straightforward to full-bodied and smooth; oak can add further toasted and spicy notes. It pairs well with roast meat, mushroom dishes or aged cheese.
