As with all wines from Pieter Ferreira, the hallmark is impeccable fruit with long lees aging this Blanc de Blancs is no exception, precision winemaking and extra fine bubbles.
This is a clean and focused Cap Classique built on diverse terroir (Cape Agulhas, Darling, Robertson). Whole-bunch pressed and partially oak-fermented, this wine delivers an enchanting luminous colour and extremely fine bubbles. The palate is built on a chalky backbone with layers of lime pith, citrus peel, and green almonds, finishing on a comforting brioche note.
”
Sourced 30% from Cape Agulhas, 30% from Darling, 22% from Robertson and 18% from Napier, a small portion was fermented in oak. The nose shows a touch of flinty reduction before pear, peach, apple and citrus, with a subtle yeasty undertone. The palate is impeccably pure and driven, finishing dry and pithy. Always among the country’s most assured bottle-fermented sparkling wines, this vintage has even more clarity of fruit and finesse of the structure. 96/100.” – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za
