About this Item

2019 Big Dog Ten Cap Classique
24 (4 x 6) 750ml

“We’re inquisitive, we’re daring, we’re experimental, and I think that’s what I like. I like pushing the boundaries; I like bringing art into it as long as the final product is pure and beautiful.” - John Loubser

67% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir

Wine of Origin: Western Cape
Winemaker: John Loubser

Big Dog Ten is made from Chardonnay grown on ancient shale and limestone soils dating back 400 million years. Chardonnay thrives on limestone, ensuring that the wine has amazing minerality and structure. This specific Chardonnay vineyard was planted in 1991 making it 33 years old, resulting in very low yield and intense concentration. 67% of the blend is barrel fermented to enhance richness and complexity. The wine spent 50 months on the lees, further accentuating the finesse.

Tasting Notes: Big Dog Ten is a rich and complex wine, made without compromising finesse and elegance. The nose has enticing roasted almond and marzipan notes from the Chardonnay and red apple from the Pinot Noir.

This wine is immediately accessible but for maximum reward drink from 2026 onwards.
