Appearance: A delicate pale pink-orange hue.
Nose and Palate: Enticing aromas of rose petal, strawberries, raspberries, and a hint of bruised apple, complemented by subtle brioche notes. The palate is full and creamy, with a beautifully fine and persistent mousse.
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir.
Ageing Potential: Enjoy within 5 years of the vintage.
Food Pairing: This versatile Blanc de Noir Cap Classique is perfect for any occasion, from a lively aperitif to pairings with fresh seafood, salads, charcuterie, and even flavorful curry dishes.
Terroir: Grown in a South-West facing Pinot Noir vineyard in the Bottelary Hills, where cooling influences from False Bay and the Atlantic, along with cool morning mists, contribute to optimal slow ripening in the region’s granitic soils.
Winemaking: Hand-harvested at dawn and gently whole-bunch pressed to extract the purest juice. Following cold and malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes its second fermentation in the bottle, developing its elegant bubbles over three years on the lees before disgorgement.
