The lovely golden yellow colour indicates good evolution after four years and reflects the high pecentage of red grapes used. Gentle whole bunch pressing ensures that only the highest quality juice is extracted and very little extraction from the skins occur. The nose shows ripe biscuity red grape fruit flavours and the soft yeasty bouquet of freshly baked bread. The mousse is extremely fine and creamy on the palate enhancing the exquisite nutty, biscuit flavours. Four years on the yeast sediment added to the depth of flavours and complexity. It shows the fuller style of Cap Classique at its sophisticated best. Wnjoy as an aperitif. Delicious with fresh oysters or pate. Excellent with lighter soup courses and idal to accompany dessert as it is perfect to clean the palate. The 1996 vintage Kaapse Vonkel is excellent to enjoy with food.
