Kaapzicht Rooiland Pinotage 2022

The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed and crushed into steel tanks for fermentation. Biodynamic yeast is used to inoculate the fermentation to enhance and preserve terroir characteristics. After fermentation the wine is gently pressed and transferred to tank for malo-lactic conversion. After conversion the wine racked into 300L barrels for ageing between 16-18 months. After Blending the wine is aged in concrete tanks until bottling.

In 1946, a man created a home by planting a vineyard. That man is now the great-grandfather of the winemaker today. We craft wines with a sense of belonging, creating moments of purity and concentration. At once familiar and extraordinary. The 1947 Chenin Blanc vineyard is planted, making it the second oldest surviving Chenin Blanc vineyard in South Africa today. At Kaapzicht, our terroir creates wines that are rich and opulent. I believe that winemaking it about finding your path and then linking it to what your farm or terroir can give you. It’s a fine balance between understanding what people want, and also being ballsy enough not to chase every trend, but to be true to your origin and house style. Ultimately, I just want to make wine that everyone wants to drink because it’s great. If your wine is the first bottle that’s empty at a dinner table, you’re always doing well.
