History
Kanonkop is situated on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosh. A fourth generation family estate, it was originally purchased by JW Sauer and has been in the family ever since. Famed for its red wines and particularly its Pinotage. The name Kanonkop is derived from a hillock (kop) on the Simonsberg mountain above the wine estate from where, during the 17th and 18th centuries, a cannon (kanon) was fired to announce the arrival of sailing ships entering Table Bay.
