Kaapzicht Estate Skemerlig Cabernet Sauvignon

The Skemerlig Cabernet Sauvignon from Kaapzicht Estate is a powerful red wine from the Bottelary Hills near Stellenbosch, one of South Africa's most traditional wine-growing regions. Its name – Afrikaans for "twilight" – refers to the cool evening hours that provide the vines with relief after hot days and ensure concentrated, ripe grapes.

Kaapzicht is a family business owned by the Steytler family, rooted for several generations in the granite-rich soils of the Bottelary Hills. The location benefits from its proximity to False Bay, whose sea breeze cools the vines and adds freshness to the grapes' aromatics.

In the glass, the Skemerlig Cabernet Sauvignon shows dark berry fruits such as cassis and blackberry, underpinned by cedar wood and a hint of green bell pepper, typical for the grape variety. On the palate, powerful yet well-integrated tannins, a juicy body, and a long, spicy finish.

Serve it at 16–18 °C with grilled rack of lamb, game dishes, or a mature cheddar. It also cuts a fine figure on its own in the evening, when the light outside reaches that twilight that gave the wine its name.

The Winery

Kaapzicht Estate

Kaapzicht was first mentioned in 1712 as "Friesland" and came into the possession of the Steytler family in 1946. The name was chosen because of the magnificent view from the slopes of the vineyards over Cape Town and Table Mountain.

Kaapzicht Estate is a typical family business in which all family members work together: A few years ago, Danie Steytler followed in his father Daan's footsteps as a passionate, hardworking, and creative winemaker. His mother Yngvild is responsible for the global export markets.

The wines grown and bottled on the estate have been offered under the Kaapzicht label since 1984.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
