Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Brambleberry, pepper and smoke lead this distinctive red blend from Capaia. Red berries, pepper and spice have South African character, and are enlivened by good acidity and a minerally finish. A refreshing but savory everyday red; pair with lamb or game.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dark, rich fruit, luscious spice and a velvety overall texture make this flagship wine from Capaia a benchmark Bordeaux blend for South Africa. Assertive but refined, layered but delicate, the wine unfolds gently on the palate and is the perfect cohort to myriad meat and poultry dishes. Minerality gives it lift and clarity.
