About this Item
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.

Critics Ratings
‘Selection of vintage’s best Pinotage, French oak matured 2 years. 2015 sleek and ripe, with core of pure blue and black fruit. Good concentration and density though still supple and pliable. Refined and elegant, with long aftertaste. First since 2012.’ – ‘Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2019, 4.5* (92 pts)
‘Danie Steytler makes this plush, new oak-aged Pinotage from a 4.8-hectare block planted in 1970. Previously produced in 2012, it’s a tribute to the quality of the 2015 harvest, with bramble and blueberry sweetness, smooth, scented wood and a sappy, refreshing finish. 2020-28.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 94/100
