Nestled in the heart of the stunning Bottelary Hills valley, this wine estate, spanning over a surface area of nearly 190 hectares, offers breathtaking panoramic views of Table Bay and False Bay. The name "Kaapzicht", which means "view of the Cape" in Afrikaans, perfectly captures the ambiance of the vineyard, with its stunning view of the vibrant Cape Town metropolis. The Steytler family, who has been at the helm of this estate since 1946, has managed to preserve the natural beauty of this site while developing top-tier viticulture. The wine produced at the Kaapzicht Estate is intimately linked to the land. The soils here are incredibly diverse, ranging from black shale to dolerite and decomposed granite, offering winemakers a wide array of aromas and characteristics to incorporate into their wines. Kaapzicht's distinction lies in the production of superior red wines, especially Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz, although the estate also produces exceptional white wines. The Mediterranean climate of the region, characterized by mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers, promotes the slow maturation of the grapes. This results in wines of great complexity, with remarkable depth and intensity of taste. The estate also practices sustainable viticulture, minimizing the use of pesticides and preserving the vineyard's natural environment. The wines from the Kaapzicht Estate are renowned for their superb quality and expressive character, perfectly reflecting the unique terroir of Stellenbosch.
