About this Item

Kaapzicht
1947 Chenin Blanc 2016
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Having been under the Steytler family's care for 3 generations, Kaapzicht is a hallmark of the Bottelary Hills, producing wine since 1984. Danie Steytler Jnr took over the reins from father Danie in 2009, and with the emphatic introduction of this single vineyard Chenin in 2013, earning a Platter 5* on release, cemented his intentions to build on the family brand and grow the quality offering. Named 1947 after the planting date of the vineyard (planted by Danie's great grandfather), thought to be SA's 2nd oldest block of Chenin, the wine was introduced to mark 30 years of bottling under the Kaapzicht label. Super small production and sold out on release, the older vintages are rare finds.

Critics Ratings

Such is the modesty of the Steytlers that not much was made of this 2016 vintage being named Decanter Magazine's most exciting wine of 2017 under £55 - worldwide - this is no mean feat!

'Luxurious, warm and enveloping notes of honey, lemon and pineapple jump out of the glass. Creamy and complex, this is bursting with flavour, life and indulgent good humour. Sweet exotic fruit, married with nutty apple and citrus, are wrapped up with a crisp acidity. Drinking Window 2017 - 2023' - Decanter's Most Exciting Wines of 2017 Panel Tasting, 96 Points

'Right up there with the best Cape Chenins in 2016, this is a thing of beauty and stunning complexity. Danie Steytler's touch is very gentle here, producing a magical combination of old vine fruit, minerality, lees and subtle oak. Racy and focused, with tangerine, pear tart and sweet spices. 2018-26' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2017, 96 Points
