Winemaking
Meticulous care in the vineyards and cellar, expert blending, and rigorous tasting
sessions culminated in this prestige cuvée. Carefully hand-harvested grapes from the
finest vineyards are selected and brought into the cellar in small crates. The whole
bunches are gently pressed to extract the purest juice, known as the cuvée. After
overnight settling, the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at 15-17°C using
carefully selected yeast strains. The wine is then expertly blended before being bottled.
After the second fermentation in the bottle takes place, the wine is aged on the lees for
at least 36 months in our cellars prior to disgorgement. At disgorgement, a specially
selected dosage is added to produce this vin sec style of Cap Classique.
Winemaker's Description
This luxurious Cap Classique has a bright golden hue and a fine, lively perlage. Notes of
freshly baked pastries and caramelisation are complemented by a sweet, autolytic
richness with a toasted brioche character. The nose further reveals delicate notes of
yellow fruit and white flowers. Kaapse Vonkel Satin Royale offers bold flavours with a
smooth, rounded palate. It harmoniously combines depth, a subtle hint of sweetness,
and a sense of freshness, resulting in a beautifully balanced, captivating wine.
This Cap Classique is ready to drink upon release. The NV has all the attributes to gain
in richness and complexity for at least 4 to 6 years.
