Beautiful light/bright gold in colour with a fine mousse. An explosion of golden delicious apples, lime, caramel ,vanilla spice and hints of nuts and biscuits. Clean and fresh with firm acid, crispy and lingering. Loaded with mousse on the pallet flavoured with apples and light yeasty flavour. A true Elgin Cap Classique.”

Grapes are hand-picked early in the morning to ensure optimal freshness. The bunches are pressed whole and only the cuvee is used to make the base wine. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wines are bottled and yeast introduced for a second fermentation. The bottles ferment and mature horizontally in a cool dark cellar for a minimum of 30 months. It is then riddled and disgorged and a light dosage is added. It is left for a further 30 days to mature on the cork to allow integration and balance.
