Grape Varieties:
100% Chardonnay
In the Vineyard:
From two Chardonnay blocks on Lanzerac in the Jonkershoek Valley, on deep sandy soils (2.14 ha).
Winemaking Method and Maturation:
Picked in the cool early morning and whole-bunch pressed for gentle extraction. Fermented mainly in stainless steel, with a small portion in French oak, at 13–14°C. Second fermentation in bottle, then 18 months on the lees before disgorgement.
Wine Tasting Notes:
On the nose
Creamy biscuit notes over lively citrus and apple.
On the palate
A fine, precise mousse with a yeasty undercurrent beneath bright citrus and apple fruit.
On the whole
An elegant, refined Cap Classique. Ideal with smoked salmon and caviar, a pear and parmesan salad, or fresh bread dipped in dukkah.
