In South Africa, Danie Steytier is considered one of the top two producers of Pinotage in the country. Danie's passion is to make top quality South African wine and his Pinotage is a shining example of just how good a wine the grape can make and has been known to win over even the hardest sceptics! The Steytier Pinotage continues to gather international awards closely followed in the merit tables by the Kaapzicht Pinotage. Danie is a well respected wine judge, a keen Two Oceans and Comrades Marathon participant and tennis player. Kaapzicht is situated up in the Bottelary Hills with magnificent views towards Table Mountain. The farm was first mentioned in 1712 and was purchased by the Steytier family in 1946. The 174 ha estate has 135 ha of vineyards planted on mainly north facing slopes. An ambitious planting programme is seeing the replacement of the Chenin vineyards with top quality red varieties while the old gnarled Pinotage Bush Vines are given tender care and attention. The ever modest, dedicated family team consists of Danie making the wine, his brother George the viticulturist and Danie's wife Yngvild responsible for sales and marketing. They all live on the farm with a menagerie of animals and an open house to friends and family. Success could not have come to nicer or more hard working people. Vintage: 2004. Style: Powerful Reds.

Description:
Bright, pinky red colour. Sweet aromas of raspberry and banana fruit topped with soft nutmeg and clove spiciness.

The wine's good balance makes it a winner.

The Grapes were harvested, destalked and lightly pressed after 4 hours skin contact in press. Fermented dry with Vin 13 yeast at 15 degrees the wine then spends 3 months on leas. A clean, fresh wine with a clear, lime-green colour ut has a shy nose of greengage and capsicum aromas that leads into a good, but light-weight pear-toned palate. 100% Chenin Blanc this is a dry, freshly-fruited wine with a zesty, dry finish.

The Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc are made separately in the reductive method, the juice is given up to 24 hours skin contact and 2 and a half months on the lees before sulphuring up. The two wines are then blended together to produce the best COMBINATION of both cultivars. This rich wheat-Champagne coloured wine is a blend of 70% Chenin Blanc and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. A zesty blend with aromatic tropical fruit aromas intertwined with the cut grass of the Sauvignon's characteristics. Green Herbs and fruit-salad flavours mingle with the gentle acid that gives this mouth-watering wine a finish that ends on a strong flavourful, almost off-dry note. (12 x 75 cl)

Light lemon yellow colour. Very appealing scents of honey, nuts, and raisins topped with a hint of spice. Fresh and lively palate with lots of sweet Muscat fruitiness.
