Red Blend

The Red Blend from Capaia is a dry red wine from the Western Cape, characterized by Cabernet Sauvignon: dark-fruited, dense, and with a smoky undertone. The 2022 vintage shows how much structure a cuvée from South Africa can bring.

Capaia vinifies in the Western Cape, the most important wine-growing region in South Africa. Cabernet Sauvignon has been one of the defining red varieties there for decades. In the blend, it combines depth with clear structure.

On the nose, black berries meet subtle leather notes and a fine smoky note. On the palate, the wine is dry and dense; the dark fruit carries through to the finish, and the smoky note lingers.

Serve it at 16 to 18 °C. It pairs well with leg of lamb with rosemary, grilled entrecôte, or venison goulash. Strong hard cheese is also a good partner, as is a long evening at the table.

The Winery

Capaia

The Capaia winery is located in Philadelphia, about 30 kilometers north of Cape Town and not far from the Atlantic, and is one of South Africa's renowned boutique wineries.

It was founded in 1997 by Alexander Baron von Essen and his wife Ingrid on a former wheat farm, whose soils proved ideal for viticulture after intensive analysis. The estate follows the classic Château principle: all wines come exclusively from their own grapes.

The vineyards are located on the slopes of the Olifantskop on slate and clay soils, benefiting from cool sea breezes and different orientations, which gives the wines elegance, freshness, and depth.

Capaia is particularly known for its Bordeaux-inspired red wines, above all the "Capaia One" cuvée, supplemented by varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, and a mineral Sauvignon Blanc. Overall, Capaia stands for the combination of South African terroir with a European-influenced wine philosophy and high artisanal quality.
