Kanonkop Estate is situated on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg Mountains
in the Stellenbosch region of the Cape. It is between Stellenbosch and
Paarl and falls in a sub-region called the Muldersvlei Bowl, more commonly
known as the "red wine bowl" of South Africa. It has earned
a reputation both at home and abroad for producing the best red wines
in the country. The farm is situated on 140 hectares, of which 100 hectares
are planted to vine. Besides the solid foundation on which the estate's
winemaking principles are based, it is also blessed with ideal soils,
cool sea breezes and long summer days, creating the perfect climate
for grape growing.
