NEW EXPERIENCE AT KLIPHUIS

And the good news keeps coming this month from our vineyard-home in Stellenbosch! Because we have designed a new experience for our visitors in the Banghoek Valley.

Introducing: Above the Vines
Privately Guided Farm & Fynbos Walks by Capensis

Beginning with sunrise and freshly brewed coffee, the experience unfolds through an insightful guided fynbos walk, an intimate exploration of our mountain Chardonnay vineyards, a hosted w**e journey, and light meal at Kliphuis.

More than a vineyard visit, this is an opportunity to experience the beauty, tranquillity and remarkable biodiversity of Fijnbosch Vineyards, with exclusive access to a side of Capensis few have the opportunity to discover.

Ask our team for more information.
Bookings now open for summer.

NEW RELEASE | Capensis West Coast 2024

This is a w**e we are SO excited to share, and have been keeping under our hats for a while.

This special Chardonnay hails from a vineyard rooted in heritage, resilience and restoration. Situated in the lower Olifants River Valley, the vines form part of ancestral land and historic land restitution settlement.

“A savoury, umami-rich style with top notes of aniseed and brine and plenty of concentration, acidity and extract” - Tim Atkin, MW.

Exclusively available from Kliphuis in Stellenbosch, place your order with our team or to request an allocation.

Capensis visited Lesotho for the very first time this weekend!

We’re completely at home in high altitudes, our w**es being from some of the highest vines in South Africa. So being able to bring South African high-altitude w**es to the highlands of Lesotho was a special experience.

Special Release | Silene Chardonnay 2021

This month, you’re going to be seeing a number of hugely exciting releases, news, events and experiences from us – starting with this special re-release of our 2021 Silene from our w**e library.

Aged under perfect conditions – this is the ultimate w**e for summer 2026, and it's drinking beautifully.

Available from Kliphuis, contact us for limited access to this vintage – kliphuis@capensisw**es.com

Notes from the cellar:
Silene is not made with the intention to age, but we are in awe of how well this w**e is showing with age. 2021 being an exceptional white w**e vintage, the acidity is still singing with the nuances of the zesty fruit notes associated with Banghoek terrior, all while a little bit of additional bottle ageing gives some added complexity and richness.

ONLY 80 cases available.
