Bochendal's sublime Methode Cap Classique NV Sparkling Brut uses Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with just a touch of Pinotage. Grapes were hand-picked in the cool dawn, quality sorted and placed in small lug boxes for gentle transportation to the cellar. Whole-bunch pressed in separate lots, only the finest free-run juice is fermented, before being left on the primary lees until final blending. A second fermentation and a minimum of 12 months maturation on the lees in bottle brings the fine mousse, bubbles, complexity and character before release.
The result is a wine of pale gold appearance with a flourish of delicate bubbles and enticing lemon cream and almond Biscotti aromatic notes and flavours. These precede lovely layers of citrus and a finish with appealing length and freshness. The palate is well-rounded with a creamy mouth-feel and mouthwatering minerality. Try on its own or with shellfish, seafood, citrus and garlic dishes, creamy pasta, or soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, or Goat's.
Founded in 1685, Boschendal use their winemaking heritage of almost 300 years to meticulously balance rustic tradition and modern innovation.
