Klein Constantia Cap Classique Brut, Constantia

Bottle notes

“One of the few white wines at Klein Constantia that isn’t made from Sauvignon Blanc, this all-Chardonnay bubbly is unwooded and focused, with tasty lemon meringue flavours and fine bubbles. 91 points”

Tasting note

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 33 months before disgorging.

Bright and light straw in colour. Aromas of baked brioche and granny smith apples are abundant on the nose. The palate is dominated by a powerful mousse with a full and zesty minerality. Fresh and lively, the wine ends with a crisp and lingering finish.
