South Africa, Western Cape
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
Description
Constant stream of fine bubbles. Appealing aroma of candied apple, citrus pith and light flinty, limestone nuance. Distinctly fruity white peach and apple entry. Good vibrancy and crisp crunch of acidity to balance the ripe fruitiness. Rounded, creamy, broad and textured in the mouth. Elegant and statuesque. Its long aftertaste finishes on a light lemon zest note.

Vinification
The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were whole -bunch pressed separately. Only the highest quality juice (tête de cuvee) was settled over night for fermentation in Stainless Steel tanks at 14-16˚C. The fermented portions were selected for finesse and elegance. Secondary bottle fermentation followed and the wine remained for 24 months (2 years) on the lees before disgorgement. After disgorgement the wine was left for 5 months on the cork before shipment. The disgorgement line is world class and unique in the world as it has all the riddling, disgorging, bottling and labelling all in the same building.
