Cool climate sites are hand selected based on the topographical information for each specific vineyard block. This Grand Cuvee is selected from the two most prestigious Elgin sites, one block lies at an altitude of 225m and the other site is at a startling 390m above sea level. The high altitude from these Elgin sites combined with the less severe fluctuations between night and day temperatures ensure a cool and slow ripening of the beautiful bunches - ensuring concentration of flavour and acid. Shale soils also assist in the development and encapsulation of the minerality we so deeply appreciate from this Elgin terroir.

Winemaker’s Tasting Notes

Fresh green apple and hints of citrus supported by discreet almond biscotti and brioche typical to classic bottle fermented sparkling wine style. Extended lees contact gives a full and creamy mouthfeel with elegant minerality, good balance and a seamless finish.

Food Matches

Enjoy chilled at any time of the day with good friends and good quality smoked salmon. Also excellent with a cream cheese and chive breakfast.

lime and grapefruit aromas

5 years on the lees for this chardonnay and pinot noir mcc. Strong lime and grapefruit aromas, subdued oaky structure, chalk and some flint notes too. Bitter almond on the finish.

Gavin (The Wine Taster)
Tastes like it should be much more expensive

Well balanced. Good bubbles and mousse. Refreshing fruity yet dry. Good value for money.

S
Saverio Cardillo
Pale with great structure

Has a pale pink, look so delicate, has citrus Chardonnay expression and has great structure from the pinot!

Clean finish with a fine mousse. Nice SA MCC!!

Nice Sa Mcc. Some citrus and almonds with a buttery yeasty brioche. Clean finish with a fine mousse.

"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "

- Terry Wharton Hood -

Great wine at a great time, everytime
