Meaning “Cape View,” the estate enjoys spectacular views towards Table Mountain and benefits from old, weathered granite soils and cooling sea breezes. Kaapzicht is particularly renowned for its expressive Chenin Blanc, Pinotage and Cape-style red blends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrown with meticulous care, the fruit is hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel using certified biodynamic yeasts to preserve pure varietal character and local terroir. Following a gentle press and full malolactic conversion, the wine matures for 16 to 18 months in a mix of 225L and 300L French and Hungarian oak barrels. A short rest in concrete tanks post-blending locks in freshness before bottling, resulting in a beautifully structured, cellar-worthy wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kaapzicht\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Kaapzicht Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57946523763032,"sku":"710084","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/kaapzicht-bottelary-rooi-2023-stellenbosch-whelehans-wines-dublin-winestore.jpg?v=1787751667","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/kaapzicht-bottelary-rooi-2023","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
