Product Description:
In the glass, this Cap Classique presents itself as youthful and radiant, with a brilliantly luminous yellow color and a fine greenish shimmer at the rim. A fine, persistent perlage forms an elegant mousse. On the nose, the wine appears fresh and expressive, with aromas of white peach, pear, Granny Smith apple, and lemon zest, complemented by subtle notes of toasted nuts, brioche, and a delicate spice. On the palate, the wine feels precise and lively, with notes of grapefruit, lemon, peach, and apple, supported by a fine perlage and fresh acidity that lead into a long, juicy finish.

Vinifikation
The grapes for this prestige cuvée Cap Classique originate from three selected parcels in Robertson with lime-rich soils, as well as from a single Pinot Noir parcel in Durbanville on Table Mountain sandstone. Chardonnay clones CY277 and CY548 were used, along with Pinot Noir PN777. All grapes were hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed separately, with only the cuvée fraction (the first 400 l/ton) used for the assemblage. 50% of the wine (the Chardonnay portions) fermented in neutral French oak barrels and Austrian foudres, with the remainder in stainless steel tanks. After four months of maturation on the fine lees, the components were blended and bottled on May 28, 2019. The wine subsequently matured on the lees in the bottle for 5 years and 7 months before being disgorged and released for the first time.
