2002 Stellenbosch Pinotage

The Kaapzicht Estate Wine Steytler is a remarkable example of Stellenbosch's celebrated terroir, showcasing the unique character of the Pinotage varietal. This red wine, hailing from the renowned 2002 vintage, presents a bold and expressive profile. Its body is full, delivering a gratifying richness that envelops the palate.

The fruit intensity is pronounced, with layers of ripe black cherry and plum dancing harmoniously with subtle hints of dark chocolate and earthiness. Tannins are well-structured, offering a firm yet smooth mouthfeel that complements the wine's depth and complexity. This Pinotage is crafted in a dry style, making it a perfect companion for hearty meals or enjoyed on its own.

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the heart and soul of South African wine, as important to the country's winemaking prestige as Napa is to the United States or Bordeaux to France. This beautiful region comprises seven sub-regions, all centered around the leafy university town of Stellenbosch. Winemaking here is influenced by the cooling sea breezes that sweep in off False Bay, and the crumbly, mineral-rich granite soils. While perhaps most famous for its beloved Pinotage, Stellenbosch also offers a diverse range of varietals, such as its impeccable Bordeaux blends, fragrant Syrah, crisp Chenin Blanc and outstanding Chardonnay.
