TASTING NOTES
This beautiful Brut is pale gold with an elegant white mousse and fine bubbles.
Made from the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Stellenbosch winelands. This vintage Brut is full of finesse and holds a crisp acidity. Vibrant aromas of Golden Delicious, ripe citrus and hints of freshly baked brioche. The delicate mousse with its fine tingling bubbles enchants the palate.
The grapes were hand-sorted and gently, whole-bunch pressed. The free-run juice from each varietal was separately fermented in stainless-steel tanks and 10% in 400L French oak barrels. Secondary fermentation and maturation took place on the lees in the bottle for an extraordinary 84 months. After Riddling it was disgorged and zero dosage was added. A production limited to 3478 bottles were crafted for an exclusive release.
