Kaapzicht Rooiland Pinotage, Bottelary, Stellenbosch, South Africa, 2020

Grapes: 100% Pinotage, 18 months' ageing in French oak (40% new), Winemaker Danie Steytler.

Dark depth of black plum with an opulent, slightly reductive nose of black cherry, mulberry and stewed plum. The oak is very subtle and integrated, playing to the strengths of the fruit purity and precision. Texturally there is impressive focus, balanced finesse and an elegant mouthfeel punctuated with soft supple black fruits and oak spice.

The red gravel soil in our hallmark Pinotage blocks gives these vineyards their name — Rooiland (red land). Pinotage and its rich history is rooted in the Bottelary Hills and, with this wine, we honour this unique South African cultivar in its classic style: intense, plush, and opulent. A full-bodied dry red wine.

Kaapzicht's Rooiland Pinotage comes from 20-year-old bush vines planted in weathered granite soil. The vineyards are all dry land, unirrigated.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Ripe jammy fruit, blueberry compote, kirsch, banana leaf, and green leaf, with soft silky tannin and some attractive rustic notes."

90/100 points (Silver Medal), Decanter World Wine Awards, 2022

"Top notes of flowers and fynbos before red and black cherry plus attractive notes of vanilla and oak spice on the nose while the palate shows fruit that’s sweet in the best sense to go with bright acidity and nicely grippy tannins. Pure and balanced."

92/100 points, Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za (South Africa), October 2021

Also awarded 92/100 points by Tim Atkin MW

Delicious served with barbecued ostrich steaks or springbok fillet from the braai.
