In 2011 we decided to focus more of our production on making top quality 100% Chardonnay Methode Cap Classique Brut.

in the cellar : The grapes were whole-bunch pressed and fermented, before being aged in 500 litre barrels for 9 months. The wine was then blended and bottled and after secondary fermentation took place, was aged for a further 20 months before disgorging.
