Vinification The Pinot Noir grapes for this Cap Classique were selected from four different vineyards in Elgin, Durbanville, Stellenbosch and Robertson to achieve the diversity, complexity and depth of flavour required for our vintage rosé. The Chardonnay grapes come from our estate in Robertson, where the vines grow on calcareous soils. All grapes were harvested by hand in the early morning hours and transported to our cellar, where the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were gently pressed as whole bunches. Unique to South Africa, the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were pressed together in the same press. Fractionated extraction from the whole bunches ensures that only the best quality juice goes into fermentation. After fermentation, the wine was lightly fined and bottled for the second fermentation, where it matured on its lees for 4 years before being disgorged.
