Kaapzicht

Stellenbosch, South Africa

Home to one of the two best Pinotage producers in South Africa. Danie Steytler regulary wins awards for both his Pinotage and the Vision, which is a blend with 40% Pinotage. This is a true family business with Danie's wife, Yngvild, in charge of sales and marketing and brother, George talking to the vines. 2006 saw the 60th anniversary of the Steytler family farm. Altough Pinotage is the main love other varities are becomong increasingly important. Kaapzicht is beautifully situated in the Bottelary Hills facing Table Mountain and the Steytlers are very nice, modest and hard-working and deserve all the success they earn.
