2006 Kanonkop Paul Sauer – Magnum (1.5L)
An Iconic Vintage in Grand Format
Crafted from one of South Africa’s most esteemed wine estates, the 2006 Kanonkop Paul Sauer, Magnum is a bold and age-worthy expression of Cape winemaking at its finest. Named after the estate’s legendary patriarch, this Bordeaux-style blend is revered both locally and internationally for its structure, depth, and unwavering consistency.
This 1.5-litre magnum format not only offers generous ageing potential, but also elevates any special occasion with its stately presence. The 2006 vintage reflects a superb growing season on the slopes of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch, resulting in a beautifully balanced wine that’s already showing promise of greatness.
The blend typically comprises Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, each grape hand-harvested and matured in new French oak barrels for 24 months. Expect layers of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, and dark cherry, elegantly wrapped in fine tannins and a long, savoury finish.
