{"title":"Kaapzicht Estate","description":"Kaapzicht was first mentioned in 1712 as \u0026quot;Friesland\u0026quot; and came into the possession of the Steytler family in 1946. The name was chosen because of the magnificent views of Cape Town and Table Mountain from the vineyard slopes. Kaapzicht Estate is a typical family business where all family members work together: A few years ago, Danie Steytler, a passionate, hardworking, and creative winemaker, followed in his father Daan\u0026#39;s footsteps. His mother, Yngvild, is responsible for the worldwide export markets. The wines grown and bottled on the estate have been offered under the Kaapzicht label since 1984.","products":[{"product_id":"kaapzicht-chenin-blanc","title":"Kaapzicht Chenin Blanc","description":"\u003cp\u003eOld bush vine wine from the heart of Stellenbosch – the Chenin Blanc vines of Kaapzicht have stood ungrafted in the soil for decades and produce very small harvests, which are immediately noticeable in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Kaapzicht winery is located in the Simonsberg hills east of Cape Town and has been owned by the Steytler family for generations. The old bush vines – some over 40 years old – are cultivated dry and without irrigation, which forces the grapes to develop deep roots. The result is a Chenin Blanc with a density rarely achieved by younger vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, aromas of yellow pear, ripe pineapple, and a hint of quince emerge, underpinned by delicate notes of beeswax and toast.

The vines for this wine were first planted in 1947 on oak leaf soils. The hand-harvested grapes are spontaneously fermented in amphorae and wooden barrels, using methods that have been employed for centuries. The wine then matures in 500-liter oak barrels for approximately 10 months before bottling. This wine is incredibly stable and can be aged for up to 25 years. The low yields from very old bush vines contribute to a high degree of complexity and a harmonious balance of minerality and acidity.
