Capensis

The 2022 Capensis Western Cape Chardonnay is a culmination of five remarkable vineyards – a balanced, layered, and complex expression of the region. Crafted to age gracefully and gain complexity over time, pure citrus and rich minerality drive a focused, world-class Chardonnay.

Minerality

Winter conditions in 2021 were excellent and were marked by above average cold units, higher than normal rainfall as well as frequent snow in high lying areas. Budding occurred around 7 to 14 days later than usual but was consistently good and even. Cool and moderate weather conditions during harvest slowed down ripening and gave the vines an opportunity to develop beautiful flavours and concentration..

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.
