Boschendal Brut Cap Classique

Bochendal's sublime Methode Cap Classique NV Sparkling Brut uses Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with just a touch of Pinotage. Grapes were hand-picked in the cool dawn, quality sorted and placed in small lug boxes for gentle transportation to the cellar. Whole-bunch pressed in separate lots, only the finest free-run juice is fermented, before being left on the primary lees until final blending. A second fermentation and a minimum of 12 months maturation on the lees in bottle brings the fine mousse, bubbles, complexity and character before release.

The result is a wine of pale gold appearance with a flourish of delicate bubbles and enticing lemon cream and almond Biscotti aromatic notes and flavours. These precede lovely layers of citrus and a finish with appealing length and freshness. The palate is well-rounded with a creamy mouth-feel and mouthwatering minerality. Try on its own or with shellfish, seafood, citrus and garlic dishes, creamy pasta, or soft cheeses such as Brie,  Camembert, or Goat's.
