The Reverberation of the Canon
The name Kanonkop is derived from a kopje (hillock), from which a cannon was fired in the 17th Century, to alert farmers in outlying areas that sailing ships plying the waters between Europe and the Far East had entered Table Bay for a stopover at Cape Town.
They would then load their wagons, span their oxen and set off to Cape Town to barter 
their produce, mainly fresh fruit and vegetables, to the sailors and travellers who had spent many months at sea.
Kanonkop Estate has been described by those in the know as being the South African 
equivalent of a Premier Cru or First Growth.
International awards accumulated over more than a decade have gone a long way to substantiate these claims.
