Did you know these three little facts about Cap Classique?
Mandela, Obama and a Glass of History
In 1994, Nelson Mandela toasted his inauguration with a glass of Graham Beck Brut – a Cap Classique that was later also served at Barack Obama's election victory in 2008. These historic moments show how South African sparkling wine is part of the world's grand occasions and enjoys international recognition.
The Special Whistle: A Myth with Charm?
Some wine lovers claim that the corks of Cap Classique produce a characteristic "whistle" when opened, which differs from that of other sparkling wines. Whether this is a myth or a real phenomenon remains to be seen. But it is precisely such charming details that make the enjoyment of Cap Classique even more special. It is definitely worth listening closely and discovering the subtle differences in this special pleasure.
Underwater Aging: Innovation in the Depths of the Sea
South African winemakers are known for their willingness to experiment. One of the most extraordinary methods is the underwater aging of Cap Classique. In small quantities, bottles are brought into the cool, calm environment of the sea. The constant conditions are said to make the perlage particularly fine. Although this method remains largely experimental, it impressively demonstrates the creativity and passion of the South African wine world.
Cap Classique combines history, innovation and enjoyment. Whether for special moments or the small pleasures of life – a glass of these sparkling pearls brings elegance and a little magic to the glass. Discover our selection of Cap Classique in the online shop now and find your personal favourite!
