KALABASHI TRIPLE DISTILLED GIN
R360,00The name Kalabashi was derived from the Calabash which is also referred to as the "magical fruit" of Africa.
The name not only symbolises the magical aspect of the gin itself, but also pays tribute to the African continent.
Keeping Kalabashi true to its roots firmly set within the African soil, notes of caraway, cubeb and coriander form the base of this truly magical gin.
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Aromas of Caraway, Cubeb and Coriander.
Palate: Notes of caraway, cubeb and coriander on the palate as well.
Finish: A smooth lingering finish.
Once this unique liquid sanity was bottled, the Kalabashi string was added as a final touch. This string is more than purely decorative. It is symbolic of the uniqueness of the gin itself and its packaging but the even deeper meaning behind this addition is to allow the consumer to take a little bit of Kalabashi with them wherever they go.
Experience a Bespoke, truly unique brilliant taste. Made locally and with pride. To be enjoyed at any occasion just for you. Buy it, try it and never look back because you deserve the very best.

KANNONKOP KADETTE PINOTAGE
R160,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Tim Atkin MW: 92/100 (2023 Vintage)
- James Suckling: 93/100 (2021 Vintage)
- Platter’s Wine Guide: 4.5 Stars (2023 Vintage)
- Wine Enthusiast: 90/100
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: A bright and enticing bouquet led by ripe raspberries and Maraschino cherries. Deeper sniffing reveals sophisticated layers of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a subtle hint of sweet tobacco.
Palate: The palate is an explosion of juicy red fruit—think plums and mulberries—interwoven with dark chocolate and cedarwood. It is medium-bodied with a refreshing acidity that keeps the fruit vibrant.
Finish: Remarkably long and dry for its class, characterised by fine-grained tannins and a lingering trail of baking spices and savoury oak.
KANONKOP CABERNET SAUVIGNON
R605,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Kanonkop’s Cabernet is viewed as one of South Africa’s benchmark single-varietal Cabs. The 2015 vintage in particular was hailed as “surely one of the greatest single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignons produced in South Africa.” With serious ageing potential (10-15 years or more) and a pedigree built on site, consistency and prestige, it stands out for collectors seeking both quality and provenance.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- International Wine & Spirit Competition: Gold (2022)
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: The bouquet opens with layers of blackberry and cassis, dovetailed with hints of tobacco leaf, cedar, graphite, pencil shavings, and South African fynbos.
Palate: Medium-to-full-bodied yet with fine balance. Flavours of ripe black fruit, cassis, dark cherry, supported by oak spice, roasted nuts and subtle savoury/herbal notes. The tannins are firm, well-knit and integrated.
Finish: The finish is long and sustained, with lingering impressions of dark fruit, graphite, tobacco and a mineral-tinged backbone. Elegant yet powerful — built for long-term development.
KANONKOP ESTATE PINOTAGE
R570,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
What makes the Estate Pinotage special is its Historical Gravity. Kanonkop was one of the first estates to take the variety seriously, and their Old Bush Vines (some dating back to 1953) provide a depth of flavor that younger vines simply cannot replicate. It is "Special" because it is a Time Capsule; while many modern Pinotages are made for early drinking, Kanonkop creates a wine that only truly reveals its soul after 5 to 10 years in the cellar, eventually developing complex "forest floor" and savory tertiary notes akin to a fine Pomerol.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Platter’s Wine Guide: 5 Stars
- Tim Atkin MW: 94-96/100
- James Suckling: 93-95/100
- ABSA Top 10 Pinotage: A perennial winner
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: An intense and brooding bouquet. Immediate notes of black plums, blackberries, and black figs are interwoven with sophisticated layers of liquorice, roasted nuts, and rich vanilla bean.
Palate: A massive, full-bodied explosion of fruit and spice. The palate is packed with dark chocolate, bramble fruit, and maraschino cherries. The tannins are plush and creamy, yet provide a formidable "iron fist" structure that promises immense maturation potential.
Finish: Exceptionally long and echoing. It leaves a savoury trail of smoke, toasty oak, and a distinct mineral seam that keeps the finish fresh and poised.
KANONKOP KADETTE CAPE BLEND
R140,00Why is it Special?
What makes the Kadette special is its Unmatched Pedigree. Very few wines at this price point are made by an estate with the international stature of Kanonkop. It is "Special" because it is the "Standard-Bearer" for the Cape Blend; it perfectly demonstrates how Pinotage can be elevated when blended with international cultivars. It offers a "Mini-Kanonkop" experience—giving you the earthy, savoury, and dark-fruit complexity of the Simonsberg terroir at a fraction of the flagship price.
Awards
- Tim Atkin MW: 90-91/100
- Platter’s Wine Guide: 4 Stars
Tasting Notes
Nose: An inviting and complex bouquet. Dominant aromas of ripe raspberries and black cherries are layered with sophisticated hints of mocha, roasted coffee beans, and a touch of sweet tobacco.

Finish: A long, clean, and incredibly satisfying finish. It leaves a lingering trail of dark chocolate and a final, savoury whisper of toasty oak.
KANONKOP KADETTE PINOTAGE ROSÉ
R105,00TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Fresh strawberry, pomegranate and watermelon aromas highlight the subtle cinnamon spice notes.

KANONKOP PAUL SAUER RED BLEND
R969,00Why is it Special?
What makes Paul Sauer special is its Indisputable Pedigree. It is the wine that proved the Simonsberg terroir could rival the great estates of the Médoc. It is "Special" because of its Extraordinary Longevity—vintages from the 1990s are still drinking beautifully today. It is a wine of "Place," characterised by a unique savoury iron-like minerality and a distinct graphite character that is the hallmark of Kanonkop. To own a bottle is to own a piece of South African liquid history.
