Other Info:

Since the first vintage was bottled in 1984, Kaapzicht has become highly respected for their good value for money, quality range of wines, having earned a multitude of local and international awards. For 3 generations the Steytler Family has been running their 190 hectare large estate hands-on: Brothers Danie and George being the winemaker and viticulturist and their wives being in charge of marketing and finances, as well hiring out a venue and a self-catering cottage. This beautiful estate in the Bottelary Hills celebrated its 60th anniversary as a family farm in 2006.

Forward wild fruit, prune and loganberry with toasted cedar, vanilla and gun smoke. The palate starts out racy, with a red fruited bright core and soft tannins, developing further complexity of cherry, cola, green olives and smoke.

Press:

"Intensely coloured with an opaque centre and a slightly purple meniscus. Brooding and muscular with rich layers of succulent plum and mulberry fruit overlaid with dark chocolate and vanilla tones. Massive structure with fine-grained tannins amply supporting the voluptuous fruit" - Andrew Baker, Wine Buyer.

Awards:

Gold Medal - International Wine Challenge
