The name Kanu is derived from a veteran farm hand on Goedgeloof, who told of the legend of a mythical bird of promise. The story tells that when the bird appeared, all those who fell under its shadow would be blessed with a bountiful harvest.

White Wines

Kanu Chenin Blanc: Pale straw colour with a green tinge. A nose of summer melon and tropical fruit with a hint of spice. Crisp, clean, bright and full bodied, with a lingering aftertaste. Drinking well now but will gain in complexity with bottle maturation.

 

 

Kanu Sauvignon Blanc 2004: Hints of gooseberry, guava, freshly cut green grass, nettle and green pepper on the nose. Good balance between natural fruit sugars and acid, resulting in a crisp, clean finish. Packed with flavours of bell peppers and crushed rosemary.

 

Red Wines

Merlot : Ruby with a cerise rim. A highly complex nose of cherries and dark chocolate, with organic undertones. It is a big, rich, meaty wine, offering organic and earthy flavours, complemented by a firm tannin structure.

 

 

Shiraz : USA Wine Spectator - 90/100 Deep ruby and strawberry colour with a cerise rim. Freshly milled pepper bouquet with hints of nutmeg and cloves on a berry base. Sleek and flavourful; concentrated fruit with solid quality wood tannins. Well balanced with a long lingering aftertaste.
