Blaauwklippen Cap Classique 2023

Fresh nectarine, orange blossoms, and cranberry notes with hints of brioche and rich cream on the nose. The delicate mousse leads to a mineral and creamy mid-palate. Finishes with juicy freshness and finesse.

The wine pairs well with all seafood. It is also the perfect accompaniment to enjoy at any celebration.

in the vineyard : The vineyard blocks were planted wide (2,5m x 1.4m) in 1991 & 2001 on medium potential soils namely Tukulu & Kroonstad. A seven-wire Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) trellis system & drip irrigation were implemented. Annual production varies between 8 to 10 tons per hectare.
about the harvest: Handpicked grapes were transported to the cellar for immediate processing.
in the cellar : Delicate whole bunch pressing of the grapes ensured optimal flavour extraction & minimal colour & phenol extraction. The juice was left to settle for 20 hours & racked to stainless steel tanks. Cold alcoholic fermentation of 2-3 weeks guaranteed the preservation of the wine’s delicate fruit aromas and freshness. Tirage/bottle fermentation followed. The wine was aged on lees in the bottle for 30 months before disgorgement.
