Cap Classique Brut
R220
BLEND
70% Chardonnay | 30% Pinot Noir
TASTING NOTES
Citrus with a touch of tropical fruit and biscuit on the nose. Due to its crisp acidity and delicate fruit, the wine maintains its fresh, racy zestiness.
FOOD PAIRING
Enjoy with a delectable array of dishes including asparagus, avocado, sushi, Chinese and Thai cuisine, smoked snoek, gravlax, omelettes, and grilled white fish kebabs.
WINEMAKING & MATURATION
Healthy grapes, slightly unripe, are hand-harvested early in the season and deposited directly into pneumatic presses as whole bunches. The pressing is done very gently according to a Champagne pressing programme, using only the cuvee, the best quality juice, in the blend. After blending, yeast and sugar are added for a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which takes 6 weeks and produces the magical bubble. Finally, the sparkling wine is matured in contact with the lees for an average of 18 months.
