50% Savignin, 50% Chardonnay

Ripe pear, yellow apple, minerals. Tart, just enough bubbles, and some light residual sugars. Shines in winter, sip solo or with spicy, cold foods. Complex, floral, and the sweetness can even stand up to dessert. Rolls with all the punches.

100% Chardonnay

This méthode traditionnelle wine comes from Limoux (first place to make sparkling wine- yes, before Champagne), though you won’t find the sparkling wine appellation, Crémant de Limoux on the label (because it’s 100% Chardonnay). What that means in the glass, is a TON of deliciousness at a steal of a price. Think of this as your wedding/party/any sort of fizzy wine occasion when breaking out pricey bubbly doesn't make sense. On the palate, the sparkling wine delivers a nicely creamy mouth feel, fresh lemon and sliced apple fruit, a touch of toast and a crisp, dry, finish. In essence; small bubbles, fun flavors, great price.

* Biodynamic

This bottle fermented sparkling wine is biodynamically produced and made in the traditional Méthode Cap Classique. It has further spent more than 48 months on the fermentation lees to ensure creaminess on the palate with an elegant, fine mousse.

TASTING NOTES: A lingering and vibrant mousse brings to the surface flavors and aromas of lime leaf, brioche, and roasted almonds, with hints of caramelized green apple, citrus and ripe strawberry. The elegant mouth feel ends off with a fine and fresh minerality.

FOOD PAIRINGS: As with most South African sparkling wines, it pairs perfectly with shellfish, particularly oysters.
