According to a veteran farm hand, Kanu was a mythical bird of promise. The creature’s appearance in the African skies signaled the blessings of a bountiful harvest for all those who fell under its shadow. The wines of Kanu celebrate this traditional African legend.

Recognized globally as a producer of world class Chenin Blanc, Kanu was one of only three estates to be awarded inaugural “Super Chenin” status by the South African Chenin Blanc Association, an honor granted to producers who have demonstrated a track record of consistently outstanding bottlings.

Kanu strives to produce healthier wines with stronger personality and more beautiful aromas in the natural way it was intended to be.

Harmony is central to the Kanu philosophy: the property was developed with strict attention to the environment. 25% of the estate has been dedicated to a conservancy, ensuring the preservation of indigenous vegetation and wildlife. Kanu is a proud member of the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI), a ground-breaking partnership between the South African wine industry and the conservation sector that aims to preserve the rich biodiversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom.
