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
Salads: Its vibrancy cuts through vinaigrettes, making it great with fresh garden salads. Cheeses: Semi-hard cheeses like Gouda, Cheddar, or even Camembert complement its fruitiness. Seafood: Sushi, sashimi, or quality tinned fish (like Spanish conservas) are excellent matches. Poultry: Grilled chicken, chicken tacos, or even spicy Thai curries work well.
