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
Lemon zest, white peach, grapefruit and citrus blossom lead into delicate notes of crushed oyster shell, toasted almond and subtle brioche. Bright citrus, ripe nectarine and green apple follow on the palate, with lively natural acidity, restrained oak and a sleek mineral core. The finish is long, saline and refreshing, with the 2025 vintage showing freshness, finesse and balance.
Food Pairing
Pork, Rich fish (salmon, tuna etc), Vegetarian, Poultry
