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
The cheapest of a trio of very smart Chardonnays from Graham Weerts, Silene uses grapes from four different sites in Stellenbosch. Fermented in 30% new wood with no malolactic, it's smoky, briney and intense, with minerality to spare, subtle reduction and layers of toast, citrus zest and wet stones." Tim Atkin
Food Pairing
Capensis Silene Chardonnay pairs well with a range of dishes, including seafood, roast chicken, and creamy pasta dishes. Its vibrant acidity and rich texture make it a versatile choice for pairing with both lighter fare and richer, more flavorful foods.
