Kanonkop, fact sheet (kanonkop.co.za – linket fra kanonkop.co.za, hentet 2026-10-18): 2022 Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage Rosé – område: Coastal Region; 100% Pinotage; alkohol 13.9%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Soil: Decomposed Granite and Hutton. Age of vines: 5 to 15 years. Irrigation: Supplemental. Yield: 8 tons per hectare. Vintage conditions: Harvest 2022 was the latest in the past 25 years, about 2 weeks later than normal. We had a proper cold winter with enough rain, that resulted in budbreak that was 2 weeks late. The earlier part of the season was quite cool, with December showing lower maximum and minimum temperatures. January was more moderate with a couple of hot days. We had slow ripening conditions that resulted in concentrated fruit development and palate weight. Winemaking/maturation: The grapes were crushed and immediately pressed to prevent too much colour extraction. The juice was cold fermented at 130C until dry. Kept on the lees for 3 months prior to bottling.
