About this Item
“Bubbles have truly consumed my life. The process allows you to delve into just so many incredible facets, and, just in winemaking, you have to think about a wine that will only be released in four to six years, sometimes even longer. Bubbles is really in my blood, and I am just so happy that I can still be part of the journey.” - Pieter Ferreira
85% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir
Wine of Origin: Western Cape
Winemaker: Pieter Ferreira
The winemaking process involved whole bunch handling and a selective pressing programme. The grape selection offers great geographical diversity, including fruit from Robertson, Darling, Stellenbosch, and Cape Agulhas. Only the cuvée fraction was used after settling the juice. Additionally, 15% of the Chardonnay was fermented in Piece Champenoise barrels, which were fourth-fill, adding a unique South African twist to this Cap Classique.
Tasting Notes: Pale straw colour and bright lemons and lime on the nose. Nice brioche aroma as the wine enters the palate with nice cherry berry on the palate. Layered texture with a creamy finish and fine beads.
Ready for drinking from 2025 to 2028
