Discover the brilliant energy of the Idun L’impassible Brut 2022 (750ml), a prestigious Cap Classique from Elgin’s coolest vineyards. Albert and Joanne Rousset combine a stellar 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay blend to deliver true sparkling excellence. Atlantic Ocean breezes constantly sweep across the single parcel, allowing the 2022 grapes to achieve flawless flavour balance. Iron-rich clay and cobble soils beautifully retain natural rainwater. This environment forces low yields, resulting in incredible structural concentration.
Your senses will celebrate a focused bouquet filled with citrus blossom, red apple, crushed raspberry, and toasted brioche. The finely structured palate brings a crisp backbone of acidity together with an incredibly delicate, persistent mousse. Notes of fresh lemon zest and subtle almond lead toward a long, clean, mineral-driven finish. Winemakers masterfully fermented 8% of the base wine in seasoned French oak barrels for subtle richness. The remainder vinified in stainless steel to capture pure varietal freshness.
The Idun L’impassible Brut 2022 (750ml) follows a proud lineage of critical acclaim. Its predecessor secured a coveted 5 Stars in Platter’s South African Wine Guide. This sophisticated bubbly spent an impressive 31 months maturing on its lees to develop its luxurious depth. Pair this dry Cap Classique with fresh oysters, smoked salmon benedict, or artisanal triple-cream brie cheeses. It boasts a precise 12.82% ABV and a crisp 7.24 g/L total acidity. With only 1,996 bottles produced, this remains a highly limited release.
