Simonsig Cuvée Cap Classique (MCC) Blanc de Blancs Brut

The Simonsig Cuvée Royale Blanc de Blancs Brut Cap Classique is an elegant South African sparkling wine made from 100% Chardonnay from the renowned Stellenbosch wine region. Only select, hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes are used to produce this high-quality Blanc de Blancs. The grapes come from a particularly well-suited vineyard located at an elevation of about 150 meters. With its fine effervescence, lively freshness, and subtle yeast notes, this Cap Classique combines the elegance of a classic bottle-fermented sparkling wine with the fruit-forward style of South Africa.

The Chardonnay grapes, gently pressed as whole clusters, yield only the highest-quality must for the cuvée. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and pure fruit character. Malolactic fermentation is deliberately omitted. The second fermentation then takes place directly in the bottle. During at least three years of aging on the lees, the sparkling wine develops its fine effervescence, additional complexity, and characteristic hints of brioche.

On the nose, fresh aromas of apple and lemon zest emerge, accompanied by a subtle hint of brioche. On the palate, the Cuvée Royale is finely structured and lively, with an elegant effervescence and balanced acidity. Aromas of crisp apple and citrus fruits blend with a delicate hint of almond on the finish. Its dry, lingering character and subtle yeast notes lend this Blanc de Blancs its distinctive elegance.

This high-quality Cap Classique is excellent as an aperitif and pairs just as stylishly with oysters, seafood, shellfish, and delicate fish dishes. It is also an excellent choice with smoked salmon, creamy mushroom risotto with truffles, and aged hard cheeses such as Gouda or Parmesan. It best reveals its aromas when served at a temperature of about 8–10 °C.

Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) Brut
This sparkling wine shines bright gold. It is elegant and remarkably fresh in the glass with its lively bubbles. Contrasting notes of peach and red berries reflect the Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grape varieties. On the palate, aromas of peach and apple are supported by a beautiful balance of acidity and fruitiness. All the grapes for this sparkling wine were harvested by hand. They were gently pressed to extract the particularly aromatic free-run juices. To increase the complexity, part of the Chardonnay was matured in older French oak.
