Kaapzicht Kliprug Chenin Blanc 2023

R263.00

Region: Bottlery

Tasting note:

‘From 1982 vines on iron-rich rock, 2023 a stunning expression of the terroir. Rich & generous, with gorgeous peach & pineapple fruit, solid body & creamy lees texture, fresh, youthful & showing great potential. Follows also-impressive 2022.’ – Platter 2025 5 *

‘South Africa is one of the few countries in the world where you can buy a white wine sourced from a 41-year-old vineyard at a price like this. Fermented in 21% new oak, it shows the freshness and precision of its cooler, south-east facing site, with nice restraint, subtle reduction, pithy acidity and understated power. 2025-30’ – Tim Atkin MW

‘Matured for 10 months in barrel, 20% new. Citrus, peach, a brush of vanilla and some flinty reduction on the nose. The palate is clean and direct – pure fruit and punchy acidity before a dry finish. Elegant and tightly wound. Alc: 13.42%.’ – CE

Kaapzicht (Cape view – named for the view of Table Mountain) Wine Estate was founded in 1946 by a man who swapped the stark Karoo landscape for the promise of a new life on the hospitable Bottelary Hills, Stellenbosch. The soils are ancient granite and the farm is mostly north-west facing, allowing for intense sunlight, but with the cooling breezes from Table Bay and False Bay.
Today, Kaapzicht is a 4th-generation Steytler-family run farm. The current custodians, cellar master Danie Jnr and wife and marketer Carin, are reshuffling some of the ranges, adding new wines and tweaking the packaging to better reflect the personality of the wines. The portfolio focuses predominantly on the production of Chenin Blanc, Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing a different style of each of these varietals across their three ranges.
Back in 1982 when Danie Jnr was two years old, this vineyard was planted on a rocky ridge — Kliprug — dotted with rough iron-rich stones. These dryland bush vines have heritage and wisdom, imparting perfect texture, balance and that magical old vine x-factor.
