Villiera Starlight Brut

20% Pinotage and a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

 Enjoy with a light seafood dish like grilled prawns with fresh lemon.

Starlight offers bubbly lovers a ‘light’ (low alcohol) alternative without compromising on quality. All the requirements for Cap Classique are fulfilled except the bubbly is lighter and fresher, which makes it the ideal choice for a modern lifestyle. When Cap Classique was first enjoyed, drinkers likened the experience to tasting the stars. Since then it has truly become the drink of the stars, from romantic dinners to parties beneath them. Where there are stars there is Starlight MCC- ‘The Light Cap Classique’.

L’Ormarins Brut Rose

10% Pinot Noir & 90 % Chardonnay

Enjoy with Tuna Sashimi, Duck and Pomegranate Salad or Smoked Venison Carpaccio.

This handcrafted MCC has notes of framboise and strawberries on the nose. This carries through to excellent vibrancy and a crisp crunch of acidity, balancing the ripe fruitiness, thus resulting in a rounded, creamy, broad and textured flavour in the mouth. Its long aftertaste finishes on a light, fruity note.

Krone Night Nectar 2011 Demi-sec Cap Classique

A blend of Pinot Noir & Chardonnay

Enjoy with creamier savoury dishes such as foie gras or desserts like a baked lemon tart, apple strudel or panna cotta.

The Krone Night Nectar is a sophisticated Cap Classique which is charmingly drinkable, fruity and generous with a satisfying touch of sweetness. It has a creamy, fine mousse and shows expressive aromas of baked golden apples and almonds. Refreshing lemon curd and subtle marzipan flavours fill the palate and linger on the aftertaste, leaving the taste buds calling for more.

JC Le Roux Scintilla

 

A blend of Pinot Noir & Chardonnay.

Enjoy with a delicious lamb roast with fragrant garlic and rosemary.

It evokes an air of elegance, beauty and sophistication, representing one of life’s finer pleasures. Luxuriously smooth and well-balanced, Scintilla is made in the time-honoured French tradition in true champagne style. This classic blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is only produced in exceptional vintages and spends a minimum of five years on the lees, (spent yeast cells) to develop its rich complexity.

Desiderius Pongrácz 2008

A blend of Pinot Noir & Chardonnay.

Enjoy with a fabulously decadent dish of tempura prawns.

Desiderius Pongrácz 2008 owes its definitive yeasty character, wonderful foaming mousse and persistent bead to the prolonged maturation of at least four years on the lees (spent yeast cells). As this Cap Classique matures further it will continue to develop wonderful creamy, nutty characteristics on the nose to complement its full- bodied texture which lingers for ages on the palate. It entices with a fine mousse of delicate light, lively bubbles ending with a raciness on the palate.
