Villiera Brut Natural 2017
R245,00
Chardonnay Brut is a Blanc de Blanc created for those consumers who are both environmentally aware and health conscious. Importantly, the use of sulphur was limited to a small addition in the dosage. This unique vintage of Cap Classique is not available on any other platform, nor on the farm. It is a wonderful bottle to celebrate special occasions.

In the cellar
Whole bunches were carefully pressed. The cuvee underwent both a natural primary fermentation and natural malolactic fermentation, after which it evolved on the primary lees for a period of 6 months without the involvement of additives. After a controlled 2nd fermentation in the bottle, to create the magical sparkle, an extended 31â„2 year period of yeast contact was allowed to ensure maximum development of this exceptional sparkling wine.
In the vineyard
Only Chardonnay grapes were used which were sourced exclusively in our own ecologically friendly vineyards. Healthy, slightly unripe grapes were hand harvested and delivered in perfect condition to the cellar.
Ageing
This Cap Classique will age well and can be cellared for another five to seven years.
Cultivar
Chardonnay
Food Pairing
Can be enjoyed on its own or with fresh seafood.
