KWV Mentors Canvas image

KWV Mentors Canvas

Western Cape, South Africa

Superb South African blend that has layered aromas of raspberry, cranberry, violets and cloves. On the palate, the berries and cinnamon combine with soft tannins to deliver a smooth, chocolatey finish.

KWV Mentors Canvas is a rich, approachable red blend from South Africa’s Western Cape. Crafted as a tribute to the pioneering winemakers (mentors) behind KWV, this wine combines classic varietals to deliver a smooth, fruit-driven experience with subtle complexity.

Ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry aromas with hints of vanilla and spice. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, featuring juicy black fruit, soft tannins, and a lingering finish with gentle oak nuances.

Contains sulphites.

  • Grilled beef burgers
  • Barbecue ribs
  • Mature cheddar cheese
  • Spiced lamb meatballs
  • Ratatouille

The ‘Mentors’ range honours the winemakers who helped shape KWV’s legacy, with ‘Canvas’ symbolising the blank slate on which they crafted some of South Africa’s most iconic wines. It’s a celebration of craftsmanship and heritage in every bottle.
