Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Brut 2020

A classic Cap Classique with a light golden hue. Kaapse Vonkel transmits elegance and refinement in every luxurious bubble. On the nose, white flowers, apples, and nectarines are supported by subtle aromas of shortbread biscuits. Refreshing flavours of apple and peach are followed by a delicate mineral finish on the palate. Beautiful acidity contributes extraordinary length and finesse to this Cap Classique, making every occasion a memorable celebration.

The versatile Kaapse Vonkel can be served with scrambled eggs in the morning, bobotie for lunch, fresh mussels for dinner or cake for dessert. Not to mention the obvious match with fresh oysters, pâtés, or if all else fails, on its own with the people you love. Serve between 6-8°C

ageing : Kaapse Vonkel is ready to drink upon release. The 2020 has all the attributes to gain in richness and complexity for at least 4 to 6 years.

in the cellar : Higher rainfall during the 2019 winter months and the coinciding increase in dam levels resulted in better water availability for vineyards. Even budbreak and a large number of flowering bunches showed early promise. Conditions remained favourable, except for some wind during flowering and rain during December that required meticulous vineyard management. Moderate temperatures and dry weather followed, resulting in an excellent season for Cap Classique. Above average yields with healthy and excellent quality grapes. An intense season that required immense focus and precise execution to manage. However, if managed well it held great potential.
