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
Special consideration is exercised in the selection of each vine that becomes a part of this blend to ensure depth, finesse, and quality of the highest level is apparent in the glass. Our single vineyard Fijnbosch Chardonnay 2020, made from the oldest block on the farm, exudes the hallmark tangerine citrus notes that have become synonymous with this property. Aromas of gunflint and a tinge of fresh vanilla pod greet the nose while a rich umami quality creates a savoury layer that enhances the fruit-forward profile on the palate. There is an impressive balance between intensity and elegance that highlights the wine's cohesive character and supports its generous texture. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of refinement and a desire for another sip.
Food Pairing
This wine would pair well with all kinds of seafood, chicken or turkey, especially dishes with a cream sauce.
