Blanc de Blancs

The Blanc de Blancs remains one of our all-time favourites, a darling amongst our legion of bubbly fans and testimony to the outstanding Cap Classique terroir characteristics of our Robertson estate. Only the highest quality juice (tête de cuvée) was selected for fermentation

Tasting Notes
Luminous greenish yellow colour with persistent, pin-prick small bubbles, forming a beautiful mousse on the surface of the wine. Abundant aromas of fresh citrus, green apples, pear and white flowers exude from the glass. The palate delights with delicately balanced fresh citrus, spice, roasted almonds and brioche, while the yeasty complexity and layers of textures broaden the palate and lead to a long, succulent finish.
Variety
Chardonnay 100%
Area of Origin
Robertson, South Africa.
Vineyard
The grapes for this exceptional Cap Classique were specially selected from our oldest and very best quality vineyard blocks on our estate in Robertson.
The soils in which these vineyards grow have a rich natural limestone content with high concentrations of calcareous deposits. These fruit parcels represent
a selection of 5 different Chardonnay clones, each contributing a unique aroma and flavour compound, resulting in the extraordinary complexity and minerality
of the base wines.
