Capensis
Capensis is a family of three wines dedicated exclusively to Chardonnay. The name Capensis is taken from the Latin word meaning,“from the Cape,” and pays homage to its home in the Western Cape of South Africa, one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world Ancient geology and dramatic landscape form the foundation for Capensis, which celebrates the diverse and remarkable winegrowing potential of the Western Cape.
Description
In 2017, Stellenbosch was the epicenter of our world, Fijnbosch provided the core intensity with flavors of citrus, orange blossom, toasty brioche and peach. The E. Bruwer vineyard in Robertson adds the rich core of ripe peach and apricot with a full rounded mouthfeel. The final two vineyards utilized were Kaaimansgat and Vleiplaas. These two vineyards added complexity to the wine. The Kaaimansgat vineyards adds the minerality, which helps define the back palate. While Vleiplaas brings a hint of herbal character, providing the acid core giving the Chardonnay a delicate balance that is refreshing and tightly wound.
Food Pairing
This wine would pair well with all kinds of seafood, chicken or turkey, especially dishes with a cream sauce.
