Kanonkop Black Label Pinotage Debuts Every Vintage for First Time

“I wanted to show people what old vine Pinotage tasted like,” said Abrie Beeslaar, winemaker at Kanonkop, as he introduced the first ever complete vertical tasting of Kanonkop’s Black Label Pinotage which he first made in 2006. Sourced from a single block of old vines planted in 1953, Kanonkop’s Black Label Pinotage is a homage to a grape variety that has struggled to be taken seriously as a fine wine.
