Kaapzicht The 1947 Chenin Blanc
The 1947 Chenin Blanc from the Kaapzicht winery is a cult wine from the Cape. In 1947, the vines for this were planted for the first time on oak leaf soils. The hand-harvested grapes are spontaneously fermented in amphorae and wooden barrels as they have been for centuries. Subsequently, the wine matures in 500-liter oak barrels for approx. 10 months before it is bottled. The wine is incredibly stable and can be stored for up to 25 years.
The low yields from very old bush vines ensure high complexity and harmony of minerality and acidity. Tim Atkin Report 2023: 95 points for the 2022 vintage

The Winery
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.
