Technical Analysis
The Steytler Range is the culmination of Kaapzicht's best wines in exceptional vintages only, forged by tradition and four generations of Steytler passion.
Tasting note
Power & concentration, within a tightly woven structure showing lots of promise. Generous cassis and black berries as well as vanilla and spice from oak. Complex & multi dimensional. Those who can resist the temptation will be rewarded well with cellaring. A blend of Pinotage 56% Cabernet Sauvignon 39% and Merlot 5%
Vinification details
These individual varieties are aged and vinified separately before blending and bottling. The grapes are individually inoculated with a biodynamic yeast culture, and fermented on skins until dry. After malolactic conversion, the wine is transferred to barrels for ageing. After 20 months in barrel, the blend is carefully selected and bottled under inert conditions.

Tasting note
The 'Steytler Vision' is Kaapzicht's Cape Blend. 48% Cabernet Sauvignon exudes power, length and structure while our endemic Pinotage (51%) creates a uniquely South African feel. 1% gentle Merlot fruit binds it all together. The aptly named Steytler Vision is the realization of Danie Snr’s innovation and craftsmanship.
Vinification details
The three cultivars were vinified and aged separately in small French oak barrels for 28 months, personally selected by the winemaker, and then blended together.
