A pioneering first for South Africa, whereby both varietals, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, were whole bunch pressed together - this awardwinning Cap Classique proves its pedigree time and again both in local and international wine competitions. The Pinot Noir lends a berry-laden ripeness and subtle spiciness while the Chardonnay contributes creamy complexity. The delightful salmon-pink hue of the Vintage Rosé perfectly complements the sumptuous strawberry notes and rich creamy complexity on the palate.

in the vineyard : The Pinot Noir grapes for this Cap Classique were selected from 3 unique vineyards in Stellenbosch, Robertson and Napier for diversity, complexity and depth of flavors. The Chardonnay grapes originates from our estate in Robertson. All grapes were hand-picked in the early mornings and transported to our cellar, where the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were gently whole bunch pressed together.

about the harvest: Grapes were hand-picked.

in the cellar : An innovative co-pressing of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Fractional recovery from the whole bunches ensured that only the best quality juice went into fermentation. After fermentation the wine was lightly fined and bottled for the secondary fermentation, after which the wine underwent five to six years of lees contact time before disgorging.
