Kaapzicht Estate is a private wine estate in the top South African wine region of Stellenbosch; we are a hands on family business in the 4th generation. This means not only consistency of the quality of our wines, but also of the dedication by our family members. We grow many different cultivars on 190 ha of vineyards and have therefore a wide range to offer, which we export around the world. http://www.kaapzicht.co.za

Kaapzicht Steytler Pinotage 2012
Sweet spice, freshly picked red plums, black cherries and cola
are supported by aromatic toasted coconut and milk chocolate
from the youthful oak. The bright cored palate shows elegance
and freshness, but retains the characteristic fine grained,
polished tannin structure that is accessible and mouth-watering
now, but will also develop further complexity with bottle age.
Yield: < 5 t/ha from unirrigated bush vines
Matured for 24 months in new French oak
Alc: 14.14% TA: 5.9 g/l
RS: 2.9 g/l pH: 3.6
