A vintage Cap Classique ideal for toasting to all occasions. This bottle-fermented sparkling wine is crafted in the traditional méthode champenoise style to best express the grape varietals, vintage, and terroir.

in the vineyard : The grapes were hand-harvested from three selected vineyard blocks from Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Robertson. All the vineyards received supplementary drip irrigation during the summer as conditions can be windy with an average summer temperature of 28°C

about the harvest: At harvest, the vines yield an average of 8 tons per hectare. The grapes were picked between 18° and 20° using 9kg lug boxes.

in the cellar : The grapes were hand-sorted and gently whole-bunch pressed. 90% of the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks and 10% in old 400L French oak barrels. Secondary fermentation took place in the bottle. After completing the secondary fermentation, the wine was left to mature on the lees for 20 months before disgorgement.
