Not your everyday Cap Classique - just over 7 years on the lees and recently disgorged, the IL GECO Cap Classique 2014 shows clean & bright flavours of Lemon, Apple, Citrus Blossom & Lemon Pith. Mineral whiffs of crushed granite. Savoury notes of Toasted Almond, Pastry, and Brioche contributes to depth of flavour. The base wine was fermentation in a single Old 400L French Oak barrel. A Lean refreshing acidity and fine pearly enduring mousse carries the palate to a very lengthy elegant finish.

IL GECO

“The Gecko” Gecko’s are fascinating creatures. At first glance, they seem flimsy and fragile. But they are cunning and constantly adapting, surviving in some of the most inhabitable places on earth where the odds are often stacked against them. Much like vines that are often also called the perfect weed because of their ability to adapt and thrive in the most unlikely circumstances. They will climb up massive trees to reach sunlight for survival and reproduction. If the vine is tended and managed optimally, it produces delicious grapes. The Fruits of Labour that can be enjoyed on its own OR, if you possess the virtue of patience, used to create something even more rewarding and delectable over time. Wine.
