They were named “Bottelary” after a ship’s pantry. In 1946, our great-grandfather traded in the stark Karoo landscape for the exciting promise these hills had to offer. Today, it’s been our home for four generations. This blend celebrates our region’s harvest made by real farmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stylish and powerful red blend is our all-rounder with notes of dark berries and cherries.

Subtle layers of tobacco leaf, earthy spice, cocoa, pencil shavings and a hint of black pepper would add complexity, echoing its Bottelary granite soils and time in French and Hungarian oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eOn the palate its dry, full-bodied and richly textured, showing dense flavours of dark berries and cherries framed by firm but ripe tannins and fresh, medium+ acidity. Notes of spice, tobacco, dark chocolate and a light savoury, earthy grip would shape a long, warming finish, suggesting the wine can comfortably develop in bottle over the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Barely Aged","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43763535773770,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/barelyaged.sg\/products\/kaapzicht-estate-blend-bottelary-hills-2022","provider":"Barely Aged","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
