Wine of the Year

The Best KapWeine 20/21/22

Also in 2022, KapWeine crowns two new South Africans as their "WOY," which are available at a preferential price throughout the year.

From a KapWeine assortment of over 1200 wines, the best white wine and the best red wine are selected. The selection is not always easy, as a number of criteria must be met. For example, one of our aspects is how the winery and the wines have developed, or how approachable the wines are. Ultimately, we want to offer our customers an experience in the glass, or rather on the palate, at the best possible price.

Discover all "WOY" from 2022 to 2020 below.

Professor Black Pitch Black – 2020
CHF 16.90 instead of CHF 29.00

92 Points by Tim Atkin

Deep purple in color, inviting on the nose with notes of spice and dried herbs, followed by violet flowers and a hint of cedar and cigar box. On the palate, the Pitch Black is lush and soft, with notes of blackcurrant, cassis, anise, coffee beans and cedar. Finely packed tannins and fresh acidity make it an ideal wine for aging, rewarding careful cellaring over the next three to five years.

Subtle notes of violet, black cherry, and mulberry are followed by spicy aromas of black pepper and fennel. The silky, rich mid-palate is supported by concentrated fruit and dense, silky tannins.

WHITE WINE OF THE YEAR 2021

Promotion
KLEINE ZALZE
Vineyard Selection – Chenin Blanc – 2020
CHF 12.90 instead of CHF 16.90

94 Points by WINEMAG SA

As always, one of the best value-for-money Chenin Blancs from all of South Africa! From average 30-year-old vines with a yield of only 600g of grapes per square meter. The excellent wine comes with aromas of melon, peach and guava along with a hint of minerality. With precise, lively freshness and well-coordinated elements such as fruit, density, elegance, which give the wine extraordinary complexity. In addition, masterfully integrated, light oak notes, caused by fermentation in barrels (no new barrels were used) and by amphorae to bring an additional dimension to the wine.

RED WINE OF THE YEAR 2021

Killer Deal – from 6 bottles
RAINBOW’S END
Cabernet Franc – 2019
CHF 16.90 instead of CHF 24.00

90 Points by Robert Parker

The intensely dark crimson color of Rainbow's End Cabernet Franc already makes you want more. In the nose, aromas of dark chocolate, licorice and hints of the typical fruit notes of plums and ripe mulberries spread. In the mouth, seductive tannins and a lush and infinitely velvety feel. The finish is reminiscent of nuances of ripe mulberries and soft nut-nougat cream.

WHITE WINE OF THE YEAR 2020

Killer Deal – from 6 bottles
WARWICK
White Lady – Chardonnay – 2019
CHF 16.90 instead of CHF 29.90

94 Points by Tim Atkin

The Warwick White Lady Chardonnay enchants the nose with a stunning bouquet of fragrant orange blossom, tropical pineapple and mandarin, and caresses the palate with delicious nuances of dried apricots, toasted brioche and delicate vanilla bean. Its refreshing acidity extends from the first drop to the long and crisp fresh finish, which pleasantly lingers with a fine mineral citrus note.

RED WINE OF THE YEAR 2020

Killer Deal – from 6 bottles
GLEN CARLOU
Grand Classique Unfiltered – 2018
CHF 15.90 instead of CHF 22.50

4.5 Stars by Platter’s

The hand-selected grapes for this blend were all vinified separately. The full-bodied palate is firmly structured with fine-grained tannins and a natural line of acidity that supports the combination of red and blackberry fruits. On the nose, expect soft spices and concentrated blackberry aromas mingling with classic Cabernet cigar box and red cherry notes.
