Rooiland Pinotage

Kaapzicht Rooiland Pinotage pairs excellently with robust meats such as barbecued ostrich steaks or springbok fillet, making it ideal for a braai or other game meats​.

The grapes are sourced from unirrigated bush vines planted in 1995 and 1997, growing in Koffieklip and weathered granite soils. These old vines yield between 4.2 to 6 tons per hectare, providing concentrated fruit​.

Hand-harvested grapes are crushed and destemmed into stainless steel tanks for fermentation, inoculated with biodynamic yeast to preserve the vineyard's terroir character. Post-fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is then transferred to 300L barrels, where it ages for 16 to 18 months. After blending, the wine is matured further in concrete tanks before bottling​.

Kaapzicht is a fourth-generation Stellenbosch family estate based in the Bottelary Hills. With a strong focus on Chenin Blanc and Pinotage, the Steytler family produces a range of South African wines that showcase old-vine fruit, Bottelary character and a long-standing commitment to family winemaking.
