tasting notes
This is a lively, salmon pink sparkling wine that entices all the senses. It reveals a delightful melange of sweet, fruity flavours with hints of strawberry, plum and tropical fruit. This exuberant bubbly perfectly balances freshness and sweetness with its playful palate of strawberry and sensual plum flavours followed by the richness of Muscat. It is pure femininity in a bottle and is sure to uplift your spirit.
 
blend information
A Selection of Red & White Grapes
 
in the vineyard
The grapes were sourced from chosen vineyards in the Western Cape planted at altitudes ranging from 50 to 300 metres above sea level to impart complexity to the wine. Pest and disease control was implemented according to South African subjective IPW standards. Most of the vines received supplementary irrigation while some were grown under dryland conditions. All the vines were trellised and grafted on Phylloxera resistant rootstocks.
 
about the harvest
This sparkling wine is made of a blend of carefully chosen white and red grape varietals. The grapes were harvested by hand at 21.5° - 23.7° Balling and placed in small baskets to prevent bruising.
 
in the cellar
The House of J.C. Le Roux, the first cellar dedicated entirely to the craft of making sparkling wine in South Africa, is located in the heart of picturesque Devon Valley on the outskirts of Stellenbosch, the cellar is the country's leading sparkling wine producer and is recognised for its passion, craftsmanship and expertise, making fun loving bubblies and fine vintage Cap Classiques to suit every palate.

The colour was extracted from the skins during the first 24 hours in the cellar. After fermentation for 7 days, the juice was kept cold until bottling, where the sparkle is created by injecting the wine with CO2.
