1682 Pinot Noir Cap Classique

Grilled prawn salad, sushi, chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Post fermentation, the wine was aged on its yeast lees for a minimum of 15 months.

The Brut 1682 Pinot Noir Cap Classique is made in the traditional French method and is designated Cap Classique. The grapes were hand-picked at low sugar levels of 18.5 - 19°B and whole-bunch pressed. The extracted juice is low in phenols, high in natural acidity and has a delicate pink color and fine strawberry flavour. The juice ferments with a strong yeast strain to form the base wine. Once the base wine is stabilised, it is fermented a second time in the bottle under crown cap. This second fermentation creates the bubbles or mousse.

The Cape’s first farm established in 1682 has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Roughly 30 minutes from the bustling heart of Cape Town Steenberg is a destination steeped in heritage.
