About this Item

2014 Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay Barrel Fermented
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

“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

100% Chardonnay

• A geographical selection of Chardonnay from Robertson and Darling.
• The Cap Classique shows the diversity of Chardonnay and the strength of each parcel of Chardonnay.
• Uniquely 100% barrel fermented in foudres and Piece Champenoise barrels to gain complexity and texture.

Tasting Notes: Bright and elegant, nutty brioche notes on the nose. Rich vibrant citrus tones on the palate with great tension and freshness. Creamy mouthfeel with well-integrated mousse.

Ready for drinking from 2025 to 2028.
