This Méthod Cap Classique 2015 from Knorhoek contains notes of green apple, white Turkish delight, lime and light biscuit notes upfront, with hints of red cherry/raspberry in the back ground coming from the Pinot noir component. Delicate mousse and tiny, persistent bubbles complement the crisp, refreshing acidity and creamy palate.

Hand-picked grapes are whole-bunch-pressed and the juice is fermented in stainless-steel tanks and matured in old French oak barrels for 10 months. Regular battonage (lees stirring) applied. Second fermentation occurs in-bottle which is then aged on the lees for 48 months. Then disgorged and given a further six months bottle maturation before being released.
