Pieter Ferreira Mixed Case 2026

South Africa’s first Pinot Blanc Cap Classique, Pieter Ferreira Pinot Blanc 2023 introduces a new variety to Ann and Pieter’s range. Pinot Blanc is a white grape variety in its own right. Made using traditional bottle fermentation, this release continues their focus on purity of fruit and finesse.

Pieter Ferreira Blanc de Blancs 2022 is made entirely from Chardonnay. Citrus aromatics and a savoury edge accompany a focus on purity of fruit and finesse. Traditional bottle fermentation and time on the lees contribute texture and complexity.

Pieter Ferreira Birdsong Blanc Extra Brut Cap Classique 2024 is a Chardonnay-led blend supported by Pinot Noir, with fruit sourced across seven geographical areas. Approximately 70% Chardonnay, the blend reflects the slightly warmer 2024 vintage through a little more richness and yellow-fruit character, while retaining freshness and finesse.

Pieter Ferreira ‘Birdsong Rosé’ 2022 is a Cap Classique made entirely from Pinot Noir, with 50 months on the lees bringing texture and complexity while preserving purity of fruit.

Turkish delight, cranberry and raspberry meet a gentle hint of spice. The palate is light and precise, with fine bubbles and bright acidity carrying the fruit through to a dry finish. Finesse runs throughout, making this an excellent partner for oysters, seafood or a plate of smoked salmon.
