| Cape Blend |
|
|
|
A Cape blend is a South African red wine made of a blend of varieties, one which must be Pinotage.
The Pinotage component should be not less than 30% and not more than 70% according to the Pinotage Association and accepted by Veritas who use the definition in their competition, but it doesn't yet have a legal recognition.
Some producers argue that a smaller proportion of Pinotage makes a better blend, but the Pinotage Association counter that legally any varietally named wine can have up to 25% of another variety included as it is considered insignificant.
The Cape Blend concept received a tremendous boost in 2004 when International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) in London awarded its Best Red Wine Trophy to Kaapzicht Estate Steytler Vision 2001.

| Elegant spiced red berry fruits, somewhat reminiscent of Christmas fruit cake, are interlaid with nuances of oak aromatics. Softly structured palate where the fabulously full frontal fruit of spiced plums and cherries underpins a richly textured mouthful. |

| Cape blend offering an explosion of fruit on the nose. Ripe tannins with an innate softness that will mature with cellaring.This blend brings the best of Pinotage to the classic French varieties. |
