Brut Rosé

It will deliciously complement white meat, a strawberry dessert or decadent dark chocolate.

This wine matured on the lees for at least 24 months before release, at a consistent temperature of 14°C, allowing for aromas to develop, merge, and weave their magic...

A demonstration of true alchemy occurs in the creation of this wine, requiring unique procedures of blending and red-winemaking. 75% of this blend comes from Pinot Noir grapes, 10 % of which underwent a soak-on- the-skins maceration process, giving our Brut Rosé its colour, its unique red fruit aromas, and its vivacious qualities. The remaining 25% of Chardonnay grapes assist in creating a perfect harmony, adding finesse and elegance to the blend. 15% of the wines used are reserve wines from previous vintages and 15 % of the base wine underwent a french oak barrel fermentation.

The first time I set eyes on the mountains of Franschhoek I could never have imagined the future that lay ahead. It was the autumn of 2001 my family and I were looking for a new adventure and we had no doubt that we had found it here in the historic village of Franschhoek. On arrival Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards were planted on the farm however this was just the beginning. The construction of South Africa's first cellar to be solely dedicated to Cap Classique was next. As this was a unique project the cellar is also unique. It was designed with specific attention to detail that allows for the production and maturation of the very best bottle-fermented sparkling wines. On completion of the cellar building in 2005 the farm was ready for its first harvest in 2006. We released our first classic Colmant style bubbly in 2008 and have never looked back. Today we produce Cap Classique wines across six different blends all of which are featured on our Cap Classique collection page.
