Description

BRUT RESERVE:

W.O. Stellenbosch

Harvest Details:

Slightly unripe, healthy grapes are harvested early in the season by hand.

Cellar Treatment:

Whole bunches are deposited directly in the presses (pneumatic) and pressed very gently according to a Champagne pressing programme. Only the cuvee (the best quality juice) is used in the blend. After blending, yeast and sugar are added for a secondary fermentation in the bottle which takes 6 weeks, producing the magical bubble. The sparkling wine is matured in contact with the lees for an average of 18 months.

Tasting Notes:

This Cap Classique (bottle fermented sparkling wine) is a blend of red and white grapes displaying the full, balanced yeasty complexity synonymous with a wine made in this style. The wine retains its fresh racy zestiness that is a result of crisp acidity and delicate fruit. Journey’s End Cap Classique Brut can age for at least 2 years from date of purchase.
