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.
