Product Description:
The 2015 Cuvée Clive reveals itself as a seamless showcase of intensity and elegance, also displaying the tertiary aromas from extended lees aging. The result is a complex, rich, and powerful yet superbly refined Cap Classique that captivates the senses from start to finish. Ripe citrus aromas and a hint of lime zest are complemented by apricot, apple, and nuances of toasted almonds. The vibrant acidity, balanced by the complex texture and the wonderfully fine bubbles, creates a taste experience that leaves the palate craving for more.

Zusammensetzung Chardonnay 100%
Trinkempfehlung Temperatur 6° - 8° Von 2020 - 2025
Vinifikation 84% of the blend comes from a single Chardonnay block on our Robertson estate, which was planted in 2002 with four different clones on pure limestone soils. These are clones 277, 548, 96, and CY5. The remaining 16% comes from an exceptional block in Darling - less than five kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean, which gives the blend a bright and racy acidity. In our state-of-the-art, custom-built Cap Classique cellar, the grapes were received in the early morning and pressed as whole bunches, with only the Cuvée fraction (the first 400L per ton) being considered for this superb Cap Classique. The juice was settled over a period of 24 hours and then transferred directly into neutral pièce barrels (French oak) for primary fermentation and a short maturation of three months. Subsequently, the two batches from Robertson and Darling were blended and bottled. After an exceptional 60 months of lees aging in the bottle, the Cuvée Clive was disgorged.
