Appearance: Green golden colour. Bright and fresh. Nose: The Mulderbosch style of Methode Cap Classique is one of freshness, and the 2018 does not disappoint! Even though it is 5 years after harvest, the wine seems much younger. Fresh fruit and a very characterful saline, mineral quality accentuates the Granny Smith apple and brioche yeasty tones. Palate: An extremely delicate mousse and fine bead welcomes you, and introduces a dry, yet beautifully balanced creamy, nutty character from the extended maturation. A final surge of fresh fruit ends off a very pleasurable sparkling experience.

Nuttiness

The Pinot Noir component, fermented and lees matured in stainless steel tank comprises of the majority of the blend, contributing 42%. This is the core of the wine and adds acidity and delicate red fruit flavours. 33% of the blend is made up of Chardonnay, barrel fermented in neutral 500L French oak barrels and lees matured for 9 months before preparation for tirage. This is a full-bodied component and provides richness and depth to the wine. The Pinot Meunier makes up a slightly smaller component of the blend this vintage with 25%. It too was barrel fermented and matured for 9 months before tirage. In our view, this Pinot Meunier component lends a certain opulence to the blend that sets the Mulderbosch Cap Classique apart from many others. Tirage, the process of creating the bubbles through a secondary bottle fermentation, took place on 11 January 2019.
