Kanonkop Black Label Pinotage (limited release) 2006**

KANONKOP’S NEW PREMIUM PINOTAGE PLANS TO KICK-START SECONDARY WINE MARKET IN SA

Kanonkop, the internationally renowned wine estate in Stellenbosch, has just released its first new wine label in forty years. The Kanonkop Black Label Pinotage 2006 is a limited release wine made from vines planted on the Kanonkop Estate in 1953 and is aimed at the premium, exclusive wine market, with only 1000 bottles produced and released at R1000 per bottle.  Maximum purchase per client is 36 bottles.

Each wine is individually numbered and labelled with a hologram to ensure authenticity, with buyers limited to purchasing 36 bottles per person. The wines will be exclusively available from two negotiants: Wade Bales Wine Society and Fiona Phillips from cybercellar.com.

“This wine is a highlight in Kanonkop’s history since the release of our first label in 1973.  The first allocation to our two negotiants will be 600 bottles, with the next tranche of 400 bottles released a few months later once the market has determined the value of the wines,” says Krige. “With two negotiants controlling the supply and demand they will be able to buy back stock from willing sellers to sell on to parties willing to pay a higher price.  “This secondary market, which the South African wine industry needs more of so as to establish itself as a producer of really premium wines, will open up a totally new set of dynamics in the wine industry, as well as creating an appreciation for and collectability of fine local wines.” says Johann Krige, co-owner of Kanonkop.
