Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2021 Tasting Notes
A mark of a great vintage is how well the new oak had integrated in the Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2021. This impressed us. The wine shows concentrated dark cherry and bay leaf notes, super-fine tannins, and a layered, detailed palate with incredible balance and elegance, all with just 13.1% alcohol. This will mature for decades to come and is a must for every fine wine collector.
Greg Sherwood MW rated this wine a score of 99/100.
The 2021 Paul Sauer represents a true Cape Bordeaux blend masterclass once again from Abrie Beeslaar.

A South African equivalent of a First Growth status wine is Kanonkop. Their remarkable track record spans more than 50 years, and the 2021 is ‘possibly one of their most iconic vintages ever’ of the Paul Sauer, says Greg Sherwood MW.
