Kaapzicht Estate / Steytdal

Kaapzicht Wine Estate is part of the Bottelary region in the Stellenbosch district. With an ideal Meso climate, cool sea breezes and warm North-West facing slopes on old, weathered granite soil in the Bottelary Hills, Kaapzicht Estate is highly suited to producing quality wines.

On this 174 ha estate, 146 ha are planted to ~ 70% red and 30% white grape cultivars, producing between 7 - 10 ton per hectare. The Kaapzicht team is driving a rapidly expanding business with growing local and export markets. Wines are being exported under the "Kaapzicht", "Steytler" and "Friesland" labels to countries throughout Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia.

This family-owned wine estate was first bought by the Steytler Family in 1946. In 1984 the estate was renamed 'Kaapzicht' after the breathtaking view from the farm's hills over Cape Town and Table Mountain and the first estate wine was bottled under the Kaapzicht label.

The Kaapzicht range of wines includes easy drinking "Best-Value-for-Money wines", whites and reds at different price points and increasing oak maturation, as well as a fortified desert wine and a grape juice. To complete the range a Kaapzicht Grape Spirit (Grappa) and a French oak matured Pot Still Brandy have been added. Only the finest selection of classic grapes, grown on the estate, are used to make this brandy. The rest is careful craftsmanship, hard work and patience.
