Introduction:
A top quality 100% Chardonnay Methode Cap Classique. The grapes are selected from a single block located on the lower slopes of Klein Constantia. Three different batches were harvested between January and February to ensure freshness, fruit and intensity.
The grapes were whole-bunch pressed using only the free-run juice and fermented, before being aged in stainless steel tank for 7 months. Following blending, bottling and secondary fermentation, the wine was aged for a further 38 months before disgorging.

Tasting Notes:
Bright and pale gold in appearance. An intense nose with vibrant flavours of stone fruit and citrus blossom, with a hint of brioche and lime zest. The upfront palate boasts precise bubbles, a concentrated mouse and lively fresh citrus flavours concluding with a crisp flinty finish.

Serving:
Ideal as an aperitif. Made to enjoy on release but it will reward maturation for a further few years in bottle, to add complexity.
