"The flagship wine from one of South Africa's biggest names: Kanonkop's 100% Pinotage from the sublime 2022 vintage!"

"The 2022 Kadette Pinotage, aged primarily in second- and third-fill barrels, offers a lively nose with aromas of crushed strawberries and a hint of licorice, with notes of blueberries emerging over time. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with slightly powdery tannins, leaning more toward dark fruits like prunes, with, once again, a hint of licorice on the nicely concentrated finish. Excellent. 2025–2029” (Vinous 2024)
