It's not as famous as Paul Sauer, but Kanonkop's Cabernet Sauvignon often runs it close in terms of quality. This is a subtle, deceptively forward red with detailed tannins, mint and fynbos aromas, deftly integrated 50% new wood, bright acidity and flavours of cassis and summer berries. Drink date: 2025-2035. Score - 95. (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, South Africa Special Report 2024)

Brambleberries, chocolate and hints of mushrooms on the nose of this full-bodied red. It's ripe and juicy with medium tannins. Drink now or in the next couple of years. Score - 91. (Claire Nesbitt, jamessuckling.com, Oct. 31, 2025)
