This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, and that is Pinotage. Only premium grape material was brought in for this wonderfully powerful single-varietal wine from Kanonkop Estate. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Western Cape. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of granite. After the hand harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After the end of fermentation, the Kadette Pinotage Rosé can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for a few months.
