Knorhoek Method Cap Classique 2015

Notes of green apple, white Turkish delight, lime and light biscuit notes upfront. Hints of red cherry/raspberry in the back ground coming from the Pinot noir component. The delicate mousse and tiny, persistent bubbles complement the crisp, refreshing acidity and creamy palate.
