Analysis: Alc:12.24 RS:12.24 pH:8.6 TA:7.4 TSO2:18 FSO2:72
Winemaker: Pieter-Niel Rossouw, Maggie Immelman
Variety: Chardonnay
Origin: Darling

Never a fast process, developing our Cap Classique was no exception to the rule.The Chardonnay grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness for a CC, a little higher in acidity and not overripe to preserve the natural acidity and have a low alcohol. Secondary fermentation leads to the build-up of pressure and infusion of bubbles into the wine, making this a stunning, naturally bottle fermented, matured on lees CC. Definitely a wine to look out for, as this CC is only available from the cellar door and at selected outlets.

Food Suggestions
This MCC can be served with sushi, Peking duck and even fruit cake! Will also match well with fresh West Coast oysters!
