Back Story & Wine Information

Kaapzicht is a fourth-generation family-owned wine estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa, founded in 1946 by Major David Steytler. It began as a general farm with mixed livestock and crops but has since evolved into a wine-focused business that the Steytler family continues to run. The name “Kaapzicht” means “Cape view” and refers to the estate’s scenic view of Cape Town and Table Mountain.

Pairing
Dark Chocolate: This is a classic combination where the bitterness of high-cocoa (70%+) chocolate marries well with the spirit's alcoholic warmth. Aged or Dessert Cheeses: The richness and saltiness of mature cheeses are well-balanced by the spirit's profile. Dried Fruits and Nuts: The Kaapzicht grappa's inherent nutty and raisin notes make dried fruits and nuts a natural and harmonious pairing, enhancing similar flavor profiles. Coffee (Caffè Corretto): A traditional Italian way to enjoy grappa is to add a small amount to a cup of espresso, known as caffè corretto ("corrected coffee"), which enhances the roasted coffee aroma.
