Description

Kaapzicht · WO Stellenbosch

Chenin blanc from bush vines planted on decomposed granite over a crumbly clay subsoil. Production is limited to 4 tonnes per hectare. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed, and the must rests overnight in steel before fermenting with selected yeasts. The wine then stays on fine lees until bottling.

The winery

Kaapzicht

A family estate in the Bottelary Hills, in Stellenbosch, bought by the Steytler family in 1948. Today it covers 176 hectares, 146 of them under vine on the decomposed-granite slopes that characterise the area. They are best known for pinotage, but 30% of what they plant is white varieties.
