Meet the Cellar Master: Danie
“I never decided to become a winemaker. I think when it’s so woven into your family’s identity, winemaking isn’t a choice. It’s part of you. We work with vines that my great-grandfather planted, farming choices my grandfather made, and wines that my dad dedicated his life to.
At Kaapzicht, our terroir creates wines that are rich and opulent. I believe that winemaking it about finding your path and then linking it to what your farm or terroir can give you. It’s a fine balance between understanding what people want, and also being ballsy enough not to chase every trend, but to be true to your origin and house style.
Ultimately, I just want to make wine that everyone wants to drink because it’s great. If your wine is the first bottle that’s empty at a dinner table, you’re always doing well.”
Quintessentially South African
The first Pinotage vineyard is planted on the farm in 1959 – a pioneering move as this was still a young fairly unknown South African wine variety at that time.
