April. Spring. Sun. Good weather… and new wines from the Cape! Discover the novelties of April at a glance!

While spring is beginning in Switzerland, late summer is in full swing in South Africa. This year’s harvests are finished and winification has started. We at KapWeine are always on the lookout for new wineries and new top vintages, although we also have to provide occasional supplies. After all, the old familiar lasts the longest, or at least as long as falsies from the production are still available.

Killer Deal – from 6 bottles
CONSTANTIA GLEN
TWO – 2020
CHF 19.90 insetad of CHF 29.50

5 Stars by Platter’s

The Constantia Glen Two flows into the glass in a seductive pale gold with a subtle hue of fresh lime green and exudes elegant herbal aromas as well as inviting hints of grapefruit, green fig and floral scents of white elderflower and herbs. After these initial aromas, a complex spectrum of flavours of tangy citrus indulges the senses. Its polished weight, which comes from the Sémillon, is wonderfully balanced by a naturally fresh acidity and an immensely clear fruit. The wine has a dynamic intensity and excellent fruit concentration. Of a full-bodied and luscious character, combined with a well-textured mouthfeel, this white wine cuvée certainly leaves nothing to be desired. Its finesse and elegant balance are convincing.

BUITENVERWACHTING
Muscat 1769 – Sweet wine 50cl – 2020
CHF 24.00

5 Stars by Platter’s

On the nose, some citrus blossom before orange, apricot, caramel and some spice. The palate has great depth of flavour, an oily texture and a soft but sufficient acidity.

Special Offer
CREATION
Chardonnay – 2021
CHF 22.90 instead of CHF 29.90

4.5 Stars by Platter’s

The wonderfully fresh Creation Chardonnay is a little more flighty than the other, with generous quince, pear and peach aromas and flavours complemented by fresh minerality and a hint of vanilla. The balanced acidity provides excellent balance and a lively, long-lasting aftertaste.

Special Offer
GLEN CARLOU
Chardonnay Quartz Stone – 2021
CHF 24.90 instead of CHF 33.50

91 Points by James Suckling

This 100% Single Vineyard Chardonnay displays an enticing light golden colour. It gives enticing and distinctive fruit notes of citrus, green apple and peach. Butterscotch and lime notes on the mid palate, followed by a long finish of citrus marmalade with delicate almond flavours. The balanced and crisp mouthfeel gives this wine a pairing with light and delicate cuisine.

MAGNUM HAMMER DEAL
DIEMERSDAL
Private Collection Magnum – 2018
CHF 39.00 instead of CHF 57.00

92 Points by Tim Atkin

In its youthful stage, this powerful red wine first shows seductive chocolate notes and a distinct cedar spice on the nose, before the opulent fruit aromas of blackberry jelly, black cherries and cassis take the reins. On the palate, the «Private Collection» presents itself full-bodied and of great structure, the present but sweet tannins are already perfectly embedded. The wonderfully ripe fruit of red and black berries as well as black cherries is beautifully complemented by the noble wood tones and the sweet vanilla notes. The long, intense finish rounds off the impressive picture of an extremely successful wine.
