Grapes for our Blanc de Blancs come from a single hectare of Chardonnay growing just behind our cellar in decomposed granite soil. The Chardonnay clone planted here is of Champagne origin, making it exceptionally well-suited to the creation of traditional method sparkling wine (Méthode Cap Classique in South Africa). Grapes for our Blanc de Blancs are typically the first picking of a given vintage as they ripen early and need to be picked with a high acidity in order to create a good base wine for fermentation in bottle. Since harvest is nothing if not a celebration, it is quite fitting that we begin with a bit of bubbly!

Aged on the lees for 36 months with crisp citrus and biscuit aromas.

Upon arrival at the winery we press the grapes gently and use only the cuvée, the softest and most refined juice, for fermentation.
