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
Blueberries and cassis confidently lead the flavor profile, with black olive tapenade introducing a touch of savory complexity. The wine reveals a concentrated core, enveloped by layers of deep, velvety dark fruits, accented by subtle dark chocolate notes and the alluring fragrance of a well-worn cigar box. Fine-grained tannins impart a soft and smooth texture, leaving a wonderfully mouth-coating finish that lingers on the palate.
Food Pairing
Ideal with grilled lamb, charred ribeye, rosemary-infused roast vegetables, or mature cheddar, as the wine’s dark fruit core and supple tannins complement bold, savory dishes.
