THE WINES

The Tanzanite Style: As a good Cap Classique sparkling wine is rated on the mouth feel this is an extremely important part for the Tanzanite style. The wines are tasted every six months to determine the time the specific vintage must spend on the lees. Ageing on the lees is one of the crucial parts in making a good Cap Classique. The wine must reach its optimum maturity. That will be determined by the blend and the vintage.

TANZANITE BRUT

Composition: Chardonnay 80% Pinot noir 20%

Grape Origin: Robertson

The wine is matured for a minimum of 24 months on the lees. This Brut is an elegant fizz. It has a firm structure, good depth of flavour and a firm mousse. Great intensity with luscious fruit, flinty and nutty with soft creamy notes. It’s fresh, dry, lingering and well structured. This is a structured and elegantly matured wine. Drink now or over the next two years.

This is my passion in life to create an excellent and unique South African Cap Classique. We have to make the best of every day in our life not just of every occasion. So, do enjoy the wine to celebrate the privilege of life. Limited quantities are made. It’s a hand crafted wine made with lots of patience and care.
