Kaapzicht Estate Steytler Pinotage

The Steytler Pinotage from Kaapzicht Estate shows what South Africa's signature grape variety is capable of when old vines and careful barrel aging come together. Dense cherry red in the glass, a powerful but not clumsy red wine for those who appreciate depth and spice.

Kaapzicht is located at the foot of the Bottelary Hills in Stellenbosch, owned by the Steytler family since 1946. The Steytler Pinotage is the estate's flagship cuvée, named after the family name and produced from the winery's oldest Pinotage vines. Aging in French oak gives the wine structure and depth without masking the fruit.

On the nose, blackberry, plum, and a hint of mocha, accompanied by the smoky, spicy note typical of Pinotage, reminiscent of roasted coffee beans. Dense on the palate, with ripe, well-integrated tannins and a long, slightly spicy finish.

Best served at 16-18 °C, with grilled lamb, game dishes, or strong hard cheese. Also a wine to discover slowly on its own during a convivial evening.

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.
