More Information

In the cellar

Whole bunches are deposited directly in the presses (pneumatic) and pressed very gently according to a Champagne pressing programme. Only the cuvee (the best quality juice) is used in the blend. After blending, yeast and sugar are added for a secondary fermentation in the bottle which takes 6 weeks, producing the magical bubble. The sparkling wine is matured in contact with the lees for an average of 18 months.

In the vineyard

Slightly unripe, healthy grapes are harvested early in the season by hand for this Cap Classique.

Ageing

Tradition Brut can age for at least 2 years.

Cultivar

50% Chardonnay; 50% Pinot Noir

Food Pairing

This Cap Classique pairs beautifully with asparagus, avocado, sushi, Chinese, Thai, smoked snoek, Gravlax, grilled white fish kebabs and chicken satay.

Awards and Recognition
