New Tasting Coming Soon KAAPZICHT ESTATE 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 the Steytler Vision 2001 winning the Trophy for Best Blended Red at the International Wine Competition in London in 2004. Kaapzicht Estate is a family affair with almost every member of the Steytler family involved. George is the viticulturist and is responsible for all the land work and maintenance. Mandy, his wife, manages the Kaapzicht Function Centre as well as the small overnighter cottage. Danie is the winemaker and his wife Yngvild is manages the office and export sales. www.kaapzicht.co.za WINES

Kaapzicht Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Tasting Notes Deep ruby with saturated opaque centre; abundance of blackcurrant, fynbos and fennel with inky succulence and firm well-managed tannins; rich fruit is beautifully balanced with integrated oak flavours lending depth and complexity. Still somewhat unyieldeing of delights to come, but lovely structure and fruit will reward a few years of cellaring with a luscious mouthful.

Tasting notes Dark purple deepening to the centre with pure pinotage flavours bursting from the glass; layers of ripe mulberry, strawberry & plum pudding lifted by juicy balancing acidity; toasty oak vanillin and spice adds interest without overwhelming the unique grape character; deftly crafted with firm structure and balance to mature for 5-6 years.

Steytler Vision 2006
Tasting Notes Very intense ruby deepening to an opaque heart; densely layered fruit enfolds tightly woven tannins and spicy oak with ease, creating a richly textured mouthful; delivers great pleasure already but has the poise and power to richly reward 4 to 6 years of cellaring.
