Kortpad Kaaptoe means quickest route in Afrikaans. This wine is named for just that following on from an occasion when Pieter had to get back to Cape Town in a great hurry. He was told to drive past the Carignan and Shiraz vines and then turn left after the Fernao Pires. Pieter firstly astounded not to have heard of this grape and then having to drive past said weird vines that he couldn't stop at was determined to go back to visit this old vineyard in the Swartland. The wine is therefore named for the shortcut he took back to Cape that occasion discovering this grape and this amazing vineyard that he had never heard of!
