Information about "Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Méthode Cap Classique Brut 2024"
The Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Méthode Cap Classique Brut 2024 impresses with its delicate straw-yellow appearance and crystal clear structure in the glass. Fresh aromas of Granny Smith apples merge with ripe pears, creating a dynamic and elegant effervescence. The palate reveals fine citrus notes and zests, harmoniously transitioning into floral accents, framed by buttery biscuit nuances.
This excellent balance between fruit and acidity reveals true elegance and leaves a memorable aftertaste, transforming every moment into a celebration of the senses. An ideal aperitif that brings shine and style to any occasion. Frans Malan, the founder of Simonsig, set a milestone in 1971 as the first producer of Méthode Cap Classique in South Africa with his 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.
