--------THE PRODUCER--------

Kaapzicht

Kaapzicht is one of South Africa's leading wine estates found in the heart of the Stellenbosch, and certainly one of the most iconic wineries of the country. You simply need to ask a handful of top wine critics who are the top players on the South African wine scene to find Kaapzicht thrown about a few times over. Their Pinotage is already recognised as one of the country's top examples.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Muscat

Muscat or Moscato, whichever you prefer, is the highly aromatic white grape varietal behind some of the most iconic wines of Europe. It can be either dry or lusciously sweet in Alsace, France where it is one of the 'noble grapes' or it can be a fortified sweet wine in the region of Beaumes de Venise. Or in Italy as the fizzy and sweet Moscato d'Asti.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the leading quality region in South Africa. It is home to many of the most famous estates and many of the top wines. Generally speaking it is a red wine hub with Pinotage, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon at the helm, though recently more white wines are taking over.
