Information about "Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Méthode Cap Classique Brut 2024"
The Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Méthode Cap Classique Brut 2024 delights with its delicate straw-yellow hue and crystalline clarity in the glass. It releases vibrant aromas of Granny Smith apples interwoven with ripe pear, creating a lively yet refined effervescence. The palate reveals notes of fine citrus and zest, gracefully transitioning into floral hints and concluding with buttery biscuit undertones.
This exquisite balance between fruitiness and acidity generates true finesse and elegance, resulting in a memorable finish that transforms any moment into a sensory celebration. A perfect aperitif, it adds brilliance and sparkle to every occasion! Simonsig's founder, Frans Malan, pioneered Méthode Cap Classique in South Africa in 1971 with the original Kaapse Vonkel.
The grapes for Kaapse Vonkel Brut are handpicked and carefully pressed as whole bunches. The juice rests for two days before fermenting in stainless steel tanks at a constant temperature of 15-17°C with specially selected yeast cultures, preserving optimum fruit and freshness. A significant portion of the Chardonnay was fermented in older French oak barrels to add complexity, ensuring no malolactic fermentation takes place to retain the wine's refreshing character.
