KAAPZICHT ESTATE SKEMERLIG CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2020

The Kaapzicht (Cape View) Wine Estate covers 174 hectares in the Bottelary Ward in the world-famous Stellenbosch district of South Africa. The vineyards stretch over predominantly north-facing slopes on fertile granite soils with a climate that favours the cultivation of quality wine grapes.

All of the Kaapzicht and reserve Steytler wines are made from grapes grown on the property – making this a true Estate. The wines have won a multitude of accolades culminating in the Steytler Vision 2001 winning the Trophy for Best Blended Red at the International Wine Competition in London in 2004.

Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Stellenbosch has become synonymous with refined, complex expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon. Once more, we proudly offer our Bottelary interpretation of this king of reds. True to its flagship nature, this is the perfect wine to mark important moments, or simply the end of a day at skemerlig — dusk.

This wine boasts a generous nose of graphite, blackcurrants and dusty herbs. Elegant dark fruits and an intense perfumed nose makes this icon truly special. A fine grain of tannin gives tension and grip to this elegant Stellenbosch king. From the only North-West facing slope on the estate, promoting a cooler micro-climate. Vines planted in 2001 on weathered granite soils."
