Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Brut 2015

Name: Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Brut 2015
Brand: Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel
SKU: 40793

Elegant medium straw colour. Rich tones of granny smith apple and citrus elevates and unites with the red berry flavours of its blending companions. Dancing pearls of fine mouse creates an ambiance of magical aromas. On the palate the refined acidity captures the aromas of secondary yeast flavours with a twist of berry and apple flavours. A top class sparkling wine that resembles elegance and finesse.

The versatile Kaapse Vonkel can be served with scramble eggs in the morning, sushi for lunch, duck for supper and an almond cake for dessert. Not to mention the obvious match with fresh oysters or pâtés and if all else fails, on its own as your companion.

Kaapse Vonkel is ready to drink upon release. The 2015 has all the attributes to gain in richness and complexity for 4 to 6 years.

Background:
Frans Malan, the founder of Simonsig, was the first producer of Méthode Champenoise in South Africa when he pioneered Cap Classique in 1971.

about the harvest:

All the grapes are handpicked in bins.

in the cellar :

The whole bunches are gently pressed in pneumatic presses to collect the purest free running juice named cuvée. After settling for two days, the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at about 15-17°C with specially selected yeast strains. To add complexity to the wine, a portion of the Chardonnay is fermented in older French oak barrels. No malolactic fermentation is done, to preserve the freshness of the wine.
