Kaapzicht Steytler Pinotage 2020

R800.00

Region:  Stellenbosch, Bottelary

Tasting notes

Very deep plum coloured rim with a dense, opaque centre. Inspired Pinotage with deep layers of rich black fruit, mulberry and spiced plums supported by beautifully integrated oak flavours; harmonious, powdery tannins give definition to the multi-layered fruit; richly textured, yet elegant with the balance to age into a magnificent wine. Broach from 2025 and keep until 2030.

Food Pairing

All the best characteristics of Pinotage come together in this wine, and it will be a perfect match for flame grilled beef rib-eye with a mustard sauce.

Since the first vintage was bottled in 1984, Kaapzicht (Cape view – named for the view of Table Mountain) Wine Estate has become highly respected for their quality range of wines and good value for money. This award winning estate lies in the Bottelary Hills in the Stellenbosch district. The Steytler Family has farmed this land since 1946 and run their 190 hectare estate hands-on. Patriotism is a personal conviction. “Steytler Pinotage” is their patriotic devotion to the trials and tribulations of mastering Pinotage since its earlies beginnings in the Bottelary Hills. As this is South Africa’s only truly original grape, they are fixated on flaunting its finesse to the world. With this wine they pay homage to George Steytler who farmed Kaapzicht for thirty three years.
Weathered Koffieklip soils, unirrigated. Yields are between five to seven tons per hectare. Harvested from one block of old bush vines on the estate, these grapes are hand picked and whole-berry fermented with a cultured biodynamic yeast. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks until dry and aged for twenty months in 80% new oak.
