Kanonkop Wine Estate - Stellenbosch, Cape Winelands
The name Kanonkop is derived from a hillock (kop) on the Simonsberg mountain above the wine estate from where, during the 17th and 18th centuries, a cannon (kanon) was fired to announce the arrival of sailing ships entering Table Bay. © Kanonkop Wine EstateKanonkop Wine Estate - Stellenbosch, Cape Winelands
Kanonkop Wine Estate is one of the premier wine estates located on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, part of the Cape Winelands. Established in 1973, the estate is renowned for producing top-quality wines, particularly Pinotage, which has earned it numerous local and international awards. With a focus on traditional winemaking techniques, the estate prides itself on its old, unirrigated bush vines that are well-suited to the granite-rich soils of the region. This contributes to the complexity and depth of their wines, especially their flagship Paul Sauer Bordeaux-style blend.
The Pinotage from Kanonkop is especially famous, often considered one of the best in the country, and has helped elevate the reputation of this unique South African varietal. Kanonkop also produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and the renowned Kadette range, offering both approachable and complex wines. Winemaker Abrie Beeslaar has been an integral part of the estate’s success, continuing the tradition of excellence started by previous generations of winemakers. The estate has a long-standing legacy of family ownership, currently managed by the Sauer and Krige families, who have deep historical roots in the region.
In addition to wine tasting, Kanonkop Wine Estate offers guided tours of the vineyard and cellar, allowing visitors to gain insight into the winemaking process. The estate is celebrated not only for its wines but also for its commitment to sustainability and preserving the natural environment of the region. The estate's iconic cannon, after which it is named, was used historically to signal the arrival of ships at the Cape.
