Kaapzicht Skraalhans Pinotage 2023

Skraalhans is a long gangly weed found in our vineyards, often growing taller than the vines themselves. Loosely translated as lean stray, the name represents this restrained, fresh and elegant new style of Pinotage. A hands-off approach has allowed the vineyards to shine through, giving the wine a profound sense of place.

This wine is dominated by red fruits with classic cherry and mulberry notes. With a vibrant palate and sweet tannins, this wine has a plush and bright finish.

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.
