tasting notes
J.C. Le Roux Le Domaine is a delightful sparkling wine that comes alive on the palate. This appealing sparkling wine has all the finesse and freshness of a Sauvignon blanc intertwined with the gentle sweetness of the Muscadel while keeping its crisp youthfulness intact. Low in alcohol, with its mouth-filling sweetness and clean finish will enliven any occasion.
 
blend information
Sauvignon Blanc, White Muscadel
 
in the vineyard
The grapes are sourced from chosen vineyards in the Western Cape planted at altitudes ranging from 50 to 300 metres above sea level. The Sauvignon blanc and White Muscadel grapes are chosen from different established vineyard sites to impart complexity to the wine.
 
about the harvest
The grapes are harvested by hand at 21.5° - 22.5° 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.

In the cellar, the juice of the two wines is kept separate and skin contact is allowed for two hours. After fermentation for 8 days, the sparkle is created by injecting the wine with CO².
