Description
A classic method brut sparkling wine from South Africa, produced by Anthonij Rupert. Blend: 59% Chardonnay, 41% Pinot Noir. 0.75L bottle. A tribute to South African winemaking tradition, with a blend that enhances complexity and elegance. Aromas of tarte tatin, apple, and cinnamon with subtle hints of pear and biscuit. Bright, lively, and crisp on the palate. Tangy lime and crisp green apple blend with a richer, deeper undertone of biscuit and sourdough. The citrus and creamy yeast flavors are well-balanced, with acidity and fruit in complete harmony. Elegant and assertive, with a lingering aftertaste.

| Wine making | The grapes are received early in the morning and pressed with the whole cluster. The components of the first must and the second pressing are kept separate. The juice is settled and inoculated and fermentation begins. After fermentation, the wine is settled and racked off the lees. The base wine is filtered and sweetened before bottling to prepare it for the second fermentation. |
| Aging | The yeast is added to the sweetened base wine and stirred during bottling. A long, slow secondary fermentation begins with two or four years of bottle ageing on the lees. |
