Kaapzicht Steytler 2020
Red Wine from Stellenbosch, South Africa
Pinotage began in Bottelary. This wine is a homage to our passion for making refined Pinotage that is typical and worthy of its birthplace. A perfumed wine that is forceful yet possesses ample subtlety and detail.
Profile:
This wine is dominated with cherry and red fruit aromas, backed up with inky and vanilla notes. Spice and richness create tension on the palate leaving an earthy and elegant finish.
What’s In It: 100% Pinotage
How It Was Made:
From a block of bush vines planted in 1995 on Koffieklip soils. These weathered soils are low potential and unirrigated. Yields are between 5 -7 tons per hectare. From one block of old bush vines on the estate, these grapes are hand harvested and whole-berry fermented with a cultured biodynamic yeast. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks until dry and aged for 20 months in 80% new oak.
