Information about "Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2022"
The Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2022 captivates with its deep ruby garnet hue and an aromatic bouquet that enchants the senses. Expect vibrant notes of ripe cherries, blackcurrants, and subtle hints of cedar, tea leaves, and tomato puree. On the palate, this wine presents a true explosion of fruit, showcasing dark berries, rose petals, toasted oak, and delicate plum undertones. Its complex and multilayered character is supported by a harmonious structure, balanced acidity, fine-grained tannins, and an impressively long finish—pure elegance in every sip.
After harvest, the grapes underwent fermentation for five days at a controlled temperature of 29°C in open concrete lagares. Following both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the wine matured for 24 months in 100% new French Nevers oak barrels. The 30-year-old vines yield a unique harvest and exceptional character.
