Kaapzicht ESTATE RED 2022

A blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from low-yielding vineyards in Verona. Half of the Corvina grapes are left on the vine for longer, to concentrate the sugar and flavour. About 30% of the blend is aged for 12 months in American and French barriques. The nose shows complex aromas, reminiscent of prune, cherry and redcurrant; the palate is supple with a long finish.

Deep, intense purple colour. Blackcurrant and blackberry aromas. Powerful entry but supple with very tight tannins.

A wine that symbolises longevity, like the legacy of the original Huguenot families which has endured long after they were buried in the town’s original churchyard. Blackcurrants and violets captivate on entry, followed by concentrated dark berry flavours and spicy tobacco oak.

85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Syrah. A glass-coating opaque purple colour, it exhibits an expressive bouquet of smoke, graphite, spice box, violets, blackcurrant, and blackberry. Dense and sweet on the palate, this plush offering is locked and loaded. Give it 1-2 years to blossom and pull the trigger.
