About
Kaapzicht Wine Estate is situated in the Bottelary Ward in the Stellenbosch district. With a mild mesoclimate, cool sea breezes and mostly North-west facing slopes on old, weathered granite soil our unirrigated, bush vine vineyards produce top quality wines. For 4 generations the Steytler Family has been running their 190 hectare large estate hands-on.
We produce 3 tiers of wine across the portfolio, with a stylist representation of Chenin Blanc, Pinotage and a red Blend in each tier.
The Estate is current managed by Danie Steytler, 4th Generation.
