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\u003eFrom one block of old bush vines on the estate, these grapes are hand harvested and whole-berry fermented with a cultured biodynamic yeast.
