Kaapzicht
A 4th Generation Family Owned and managed wine business, beginning in the year 1946. The Steytler Family celebrated 75 years on the Bottelary Hills based property in Stellenbosch in 2021 and the hand over from 3rd to 4th generation in 2022. The portfolio focuses predominantly on the production of Chenin blanc and Pinotage, across 3 ranges, showcasing a different style of each of these varietals in each range.
Description
From 72-year-old vines, the aromatics are super complex and spicy with lovely nuances of wet straw, dusty white citrus, honeyed yellow peaches, fynbos and sweet pineapple confit. There is such focused depth, full-bodied plump texture and complexity with fabulous nuances of tangerine peel, naartjie pulp, lychee concentrate and a honey bonbon intensity. A super impressive wine with power, breadth and weight but balancing harmonious acidity. The true personification of delicious old vine Chenin Blanc statesmanship. World-class from every angle.
Food Pairing
Serve with a warm Thai prawn curry.
