Nose:
Bright and inviting with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, brioche, and freshly baked bread crust. A faint mineral undertone adds precision and freshness.
Palate:
Fine, persistent bubbles carry citrus, crisp green apple, and subtle white peach. The mid-palate shows soft lees notes - biscuit, almond pastry - adding texture and finesse. The finish stays dry and elegant, with a chalky minerality.
Ageing Potential:
Enjoy now for vibrancy; it will remain fresh and lively for 3-4 years.
Food Pairings:
Oysters, seafood platters, salads, sushi, or light canapés.
Moment Pairing:
Celebrations, toasts, brunches, or any time you want sparkle and lightness.
Vineyards & Harvest:
Grapes from cool, high-altitude Franschhoek slopes with granite soils - retaining natural acidity ideal for sparkling wine.
Vinification:
Traditional méthode cap classique with secondary bottle fermentation, lees ageing for complexity, followed by disgorgement and fine mousse generation.
