Description
In a nutshell:
Classic Cap Classique - South African sparkle with serious bite, all citrus, chalk and bone-dry finesse.
The lowdown:
Bright, bone dry, and beautifully composed - this is a Blanc de Blancs sparkler with real finesse. Made entirely from hand-picked Chardonnay, it's fermented in old oak and aged on its lees for two years to build subtle richness beneath the citrus snap. It's a Brut Nature which means no sugar at disgorging, so nothing gets in the way of the fruit, the texture, or the mineral edge. Made using the traditional method - known in South Africa as Cap Classique - it's crisp, chalky, and effortlessly refined.
The Producer:
Wildeberg Wines, nestled in South Africa's Franschhoek valley, thrive under the watchful eye of winemaker JD Rossouw. Here they craft their wines from both local vineyards and those further afield. As part of South Africas Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) system, their practices are environmentally friendly, and their participation in the Cape's Old Vine Project highlights their commitment to preserving vines over 35 years old. JD also experiments with lesser-known varieties and cutting-edge techniques, showcased under their SKU (Strange Companjie Unlimited) label. They're good for a fresh and innovative take on things.
When to drink:
Spot on as an aperitif, with oysters, or anything fried and salty. Brut Nature means it's as dry as they come, so serve it cold and pair it with food that plays well with zip.
Suitable for Vegans
