Benguela Cove Cuvee58 Rose Cap Classique

Rose gold in colour this Méthode Cap Classique shows prominent aromas of red berries, Turkish Delight and pomegranate with undertones of violets on the nose. The palate is seductively fresh and persistent with a lingering aftertaste of strawberry, nougat and sliced grapefruit. The mousse is fine and soft, leaving the taste buds with a tantalised sensation. Absolutely delicious for summer.

Every bottle is an occasion – before, with or after a meal.

With a name that celebrates the facets of a diamond, Pinot Noir was a clearcut choice to shine in this elegant Rosé style Cap Classique. Reflecting the precision that both the diamond cutter and the winemaker apply to their craft; this wine is light yet luminous with enough gravitas to pour at any celebratory occasion.
in the vineyard : Bestowed with all the privileges of the cool Walker Bay, Sauvignon Blanc steals the spotlight in this blend. Nudged by the lagoon, with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even further at night. A beneficial diurnal range aids in even ripening and complexity while maritime winds encourage healthy vines with minimal intervention.
about the harvest: Grapes were hand harvested in the crisp morning and carefully hand sorted.
in the cellar : Whole bunch fermented and pressed; only free run juice was used to ensure the best quality. A partial malolactic fermentation (25%) was done to soften the acidity but to still preserve freshness and genteel aromas. After blending and bottling, a secondary fermentation was induced to initiate that fine bubbles Méthode Cap Classique is celebrated for.
