Kaapzicht Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Kaapzicht Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a fresh, dry and expressive white wine from Stellenbosch’s Bottelary Hills, made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc. It combines the grape’s classic citrus and green herbal character with the riper tropical fruit profile often found in South African wines. Kaapzicht is a family-owned estate with roots dating back to 1946, known for producing terroir-driven wines from some of the region’s historic vineyards.

Tasting Notes
Bright and refreshing in appearance, this Sauvignon Blanc offers an expressive nose of green apple, freshly cut grass and lime, complemented by ripe tropical fruit and delicate notes of fresh figs. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, with pronounced acidity, juicy fruit and a clean, dry finish that leaves the mouth feeling refreshed. With only 2 g/l residual sugar, the style is distinctly dry. It is best enjoyed young for its vibrant freshness and aromatic intensity, although it should remain attractive over the short term when well stored.

Production
The grapes come from cooler hillside vineyards in Bottelary Hills, where weathered granite soils and the maritime influence of False Bay help preserve natural acidity and aromatic concentration. Sauvignon Blanc grapes are harvested by hand in the early morning, while temperatures are still low. After destemming and crushing, the must receives 8–10 hours of skin contact in the press to enhance aromatic depth. The wine is then made reductively, with minimal oxygen exposure, and fermented using carefully selected yeasts designed to preserve the variety’s freshness and character through to bottling.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Its crisp acidity and dry finish make it an excellent match for fresh seafood, oysters, sushi, grilled prawns, goat’s cheese, salads with citrus-based dressings and light vegetable dishes. It also pairs naturally with asparagus, fresh herbs and lightly spiced cuisine. Decanting is not necessary; simply open shortly before serving to allow the aromas to emerge.

Producer
Kaapzicht Estate is a family-owned winery in the Bottelary Hills north of Stellenbosch and has been in the Steytler family since 1946. Danie Steytler and his son, Danie Steytler Jr., now lead the estate, continuing a philosophy centred on expressive wines with a strong sense of place. The name Kaapzicht means roughly “view over the Cape”, reflecting the estate’s elevated position overlooking Cape Town and Table Mountain. The winery is particularly renowned for its Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-inspired blends, while its historic Chenin Blanc vineyard, planted in 1947, is considered one of South Africa’s oldest surviving Chenin Blanc vineyards. Kaapzicht’s wines have earned significant international recognition for their balance of heritage, modern winemaking and Bottelary character.
