Never a fast process, developing our Cap Classique was no exception to the rule.

The Chardonnay grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness for a CC, a little higher in acidity and not overripe to preserve the natural acidity and have a low alcohol. Secondary fermentation leads to the build-up of pressure and infusion of bubbles into the wine, making this a stunning, naturally bottle fermented, matured on lees CC. Definitely a wine to look out for, as this CC is only available from the cellar door and at selected outlets.

in the vineyard : Bush vine, dry land farmed vineyards

in the cellar :

Crush and destalk, 18 days fermentation and secondary fermentation in the bottle.

Kept on the lees for 16 months for a fuller mouth feel, complexity and stable bubbles.
