Kranskop Tannat
Kranskop Tannat is a bold and distinctive red wine, showcasing the unique character of this lesser-known grape variety. Originating from the rugged vineyards of South Africa’s Langeberg Mountains, this wine captures the intensity and richness that Tannat is known for. In the glass, it reveals a deep, almost inky purple hue, with aromas of ripe dark fruits, blackcurrant, and a hint of earthy spice.
On the palate, Kranskop Tannat offers robust flavours of blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, layered with complex notes of tobacco, leather, and a touch of black pepper. The tannins are firm but finely integrated, giving the wine a strong structure and a long, memorable finish with whispers of dark chocolate and oak.
Known for its aging potential, this Tannat only improves with time, allowing its bold flavours to soften and evolve. It pairs beautifully with rich, savoury dishes such as slow-cooked beef stews, braised lamb, or barbecued meats. Its intensity also complements aged cheeses like Gouda or Roquefort.
Perfect for wine enthusiasts looking to explore a robust, character-driven red, Kranskop Tannat delivers a powerful yet balanced experience that lingers long after the last sip.
