Blue Grove Hill 2006
Inspired by the groves of trees with the magnificent
and occasionally “blue” Table Mountain visible from
Capaia, this Bordeaux blend is another fine example
of the quality and excellence that CAPAIA strives for.
The name “Blue Grove Hill” is given to the second
range of wines produced and bottled at the
impressive CAPAIA winery.
Vinification of this wine follows the same careful
process as the flagship CAPAIA, with each vineyard’s
progress monitored and evaluated separately until
the blending takes place. The wines are allowed to
undergo Malolactic fermentation naturally in 2nd fill
French Oak barriques, and then mature for
approximately 8 months before being bottled and
labelled at CAPAIA.
Very fruity, distinguished wine with nice integrated
tannins.
While this wine is intended for earlier consumption, it
is recommended that it be enjoyed between 2 and 6
years after vintage.
