Laborie
In 1691, the Farm Laborie was granted to French Huguenot Isaac Taillefert. Already the owner of the neighbouring Picardie, Taillefert placed Laborie in his son Jean’s name. Together, they set about clearing the bush and planting vines, and within seven years, were producing drinkable wine. It was the opinion of a Frenchman, Leguat, who visited the Cape in 1698, that their wine was “the best in the colony and similar to our small wines of Champagne”. With their knowledge of French viticultural techniques, the Taillefert family laid a solid foundation of vineyards and outstanding wine production evident, over three hundred years later, in Laborie’s wines of distinction.
Description
This complex Cap Classique shows rich secondary aromas with Nougat, citrus, creaminess and nuttiness on the nose. On the palate there are hints of lime, accompanied by aromas of toasted bread. The mousse is fine, elegant and ensures a rich, creamy and textured palate with an explosive acidity and lasting, elegant finish.
Food Pairing
Enjoy this bubbly well chilled and on its own, or with oysters, sushi and other delicate seafood dishes.
