Blanc de Blanc Cap Classique

Beautiful fresh crisp flavours with lovely dairy nuances combine well with fresh citrus based salads such as Salmon Nicoise, light sushi and red wine shallot vinaigrette infused oysters. Bubbles for breakfast. Yes, our Cap Classique with underlying brioche flavours certainly lends itself to be enjoyed with your favourite French toast.

Grown on a lower south facing slope on the Groot Phesantekraal farm within a nearby proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. This factor allows for slow ripening conditions, which led to harvesting of Chardonnay at the end of January.

It was bottled under crown cap and matured on the lees for 25 months before disgorgement.

This Cap Classique was harvested at the end of January at 19° Balling. The grapes were whole bunch pressed to gently extract the cuvée juice, which was then racked into stainless steel tanks (80%) and new French Oak Barrels (20%).

Groot Phesantekraal is a Durbanville wine estate where Atlantic sea breezes meet the warmer inland climate. With a focus on limited-production Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Pinotage, the estate produces characterful South African wines shaped by its north-eastern Durbanville site.
