Lively energetic mousse forms a crown of bubbles in the glass. On the nose Kaapse Vonkel shows lively floral and Chardonnay citrus fruit which is greatly complimented by red berry flavours from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. On the palate the wine shows elegant yeasty flavours with great finesse on the finish.

Style of Wine: A delicate sophisticated Cap Classique with delicious flavour intensity.

Kaapse Vonkel is ready to drink upon release. The 2009 has all the attributes to gain in richness and complexity for 4 - 6 years.

55% Pinot Noir, 43% Chardonnay, 2% Pinot Meunier

As an aperitif the Kaapse Vonkel will add sparkle to any celebration. Delicious with fresh oysters or paté. Excellent with lighter soup courses and ideal to accompany dessert as it is perfect for cleaning the palate. Hard to find a better wine to add excitement to your sushi.
