#VinoPeople: Kayleigh Hattingh, winemaker at Kaapzicht
Written by Jeanine Malan
"It’s quite perfect that my past experience has led me to Kaapzicht. Here is where my passion for terroir-driven and site-specific wines are fueled," says Kayleigh Hattingh, the winemaker at Kaapzicht Wine Estate.
Kayleigh grew up in the Bottelary Hills near Stellenbosch. She graduated with a degree in viticulture and oenology from Stellenbosch University in 2016.
After completing her studies, she worked as an intern with Andrea and Chris Mullineux of Mullineux and Leeu Family Wines, who helped cultivate her passion for terroir-driven wines. She then traveled to experience her first harvest abroad at OVID Napa Valley. This was followed by a harvest back home at Fable Mountain Vineyards in Tulbagh; another harvest overseas at Terroir al Límit in Priorat, Spain, and one at 2 Lads Winery in Michigan, America.
She joined the Kaapzicht team in 2018 and hasn't looked back since.
