The Producer
This Brut Cap Classique NV comes from an unlabelled Western Cape estate — a cellar we can’t name, but whose traditional-method sparkling wine we know well enough to bring into Vinty’s XCellar at an insider price. No Label Tax, same craftsmanship: you’re paying for what’s in the bottle, not the label on it.
Vintage & Terroir
Non-vintage by design, this Brut Cap Classique blends fruit across harvests from the Western Cape’s traditional Méthode Cap Classique country — cool nights and chalky, well-drained soils that hold acidity through a long ripening season. Blending across vintages lets the cellar hold a consistent house style batch after batch, so this new run carries the same character as the one before it.
In the Cellar
Made in the traditional method, with a secondary fermentation in the bottle and extended lees ageing that builds texture and toast before each bottle is disgorged. Small batches, patiently made — this run just carries a new SKU, not a new recipe.
Tasting Notes
- On the nose: Delicate brioche, fresh-cut apple, and a hint of citrus.
- On the palate: Nutty biscuit tones over a creamy, plush texture, balanced by fine acidity.
- Finish: Long, refined, and food-friendly.
Food Pairing
Pour it with oysters, crab, or lobster, or let it carry a celebration solo. Available unlabelled or with personalised labels for gifts and special occasions. Secure your case and keep the Tribe topped up.
