Rooiland Pinotage

Kaapzicht Rooiland Pinotage pairs excellently with robust meats such as barbecued ostrich steaks or springbok fillet, making it ideal for a braai or other game meats​.

A 4th Generation Family Owned and managed wine business, beginning in the year 1946. The Steytler Family celebrated 75 years on the Bottelary Hills based property in Stellenbosch in 2021 and the hand over from 3rd to 4th generation in 2022. The portfolio focuses predominantly on the production of Chenin blanc and Pinotage, across 3 ranges, showcasing a different style of each of these varietals in each range.

The grapes are sourced from unirrigated bush vines planted in 1995 and 1997, growing in Koffieklip and weathered granite soils. These old vines yield between 4.2 to 6 tons per hectare, providing concentrated fruit​.

Hand-harvested grapes are crushed and destemmed into stainless steel tanks for fermentation, inoculated with biodynamic yeast to preserve the vineyard's terroir character. Post-fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is then transferred to 300L barrels, where it ages for 16 to 18 months. After blending, the wine is matured further in concrete tanks before bottling​.
