Cap Classique Brut Rosé 2020

WINE INFORMATION Cultivar: 52% Chardonnay, 48% Pinot Noir Age and lees: The wine spent 5 months in tank on its primary lees before it was sweetened again and inoculated for the fermentation in bottle. 16% of the wine was transferred to 205-liter second fill and older French oak barrels halfway through fermentation and aged for 5 months. The wine spent 39 months on its lees in bottle before it was riddled and disgorged on the 9th of October 2023. Bottles produced: 7898

TASTING NOTE The vibrant and fresh salmon pink coloured bubbles are coated with strawberry, cherry and rose-water allure infused with watermelon and hints of pomegranate and grapefruit. The red berry flavours attached to the fine elegant bubbles explode on the palate and finish with a rich creamy aftertaste.

FOOD PAIRING A perfect aperitif for any occasion. Pairs well with rich, creamy soups and dishes with an inherent ‘toasty’ character. Will also go well with seafood based canapes and all ways of prepared chicken. Mushroom based dishes and nuts will also be complemented by this wine. Fresh strawberries or ripe raspberries with a dash of cream will be the perfect dessert when you have this MCC in your glass.
