About this Item

2012 Steytler Vision
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Kaapzicht is a 4th generation family-owned wine estate, located in Stellenbosch. The name Kaapzicht means ‘Cape view’ and is attributed to the beautiful views of Table Mountain and Cape Town which are seen from the farm. The Steytler family has farmed the land since 1946 and today, brothers Danie and George own the 190-hectare estate. Located on the Bottelary hill, the farm experiences a mild climate with cool sea breezes and consists of old, weathered granite soils.

Handcrafted by a family whose lifeblood is wine, the Steytler Range is the culmination of our estate’s best wines in only exceptional vintages. Tradition and 4 generations of Steytler passion forge these wines. Dry red wine blend (Cape Blend).First made in 2000, the 'Steytler Vision' is a Cape Blend. Cabernet Sauvignon exudes power, length and structure while our endemic Pinotage creates a uniquely South African feel. Gentle Merlot fruit binds it all together. The aptly named Steytler Vision is the realization of Danie Snr’s innovation and craftsmanship.

Critics Ratings

'Vision is the Steytler family’s Cape blend, made with mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Pinotage and 10% Merlot. Deeply coloured, oaky and closed, it’s quite marked by its Pinotage component, but the fruit weight, tannins and oak integration are all very stylish.Drink: 2016-25'- Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 92/100

'Iconic Cape Blend, pinotage with cab & merlot, getting the best of all worlds. Cocoa-spiced plush plums & blueberries, & despite serious oaking, layered richness & complexity, 2012 has succulent, silky drinkability. Even finer than last-made 2010 (4.5 stars, 92 pts). Enjoy till 2025.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*, 92/100
