About this wine

Sourced from select cooler-climate vineyards, Silene is vinified to emphasise freshness and drinkability while still carrying the Capensis signature. The wine offers bright lemon and grapefruit, white peach and a touch of oak spice, underpinned by minerality and brisk acidity. It ages around ten months in French oak (partly new), gaining texture without losing its linear profile. Ideal as an introduction to the Capensis style or as a gastronomic white with seafood and poultry.

Tasting Note

South African critics describe Silene 2018/20 as long, intense and fresh, with citrus, green apple and subtle oak, combining concentration with finesse.

In the glass

Pale straw with a slight green tint.

In the nose

Lemon peel, grapefruit, green apple, white peach and gentle vanilla spice.

On the palate

Medium-bodied, crisp and focused, with lively citrus, fine texture from lees and oak, and a clean, mineral finish.

Capensis

Capensis is a high-end Chardonnay project in South Africa, focused on cool, elevated vineyard sites across the Western Cape. Inspired by great white Burgundy, the wines combine ripe stone fruit, subtle reduction and restrained oak with vibrant acidity and mineral precision. The result is a refined, age-worthy style that has quickly earned international acclaim.
