Pieter Ferreira Blanc de Blancs

Made from 100% Chardonnay the wine is allowed to live on the lees for five years, drawing structure, palate-weight and, of course, creating the millions of magical bubbles. The sediment is removed through the traditional process of remuage and dégorgement, after which the bottles are corked and laid down for six months cork maturation.

A wine of great mineral power, dense and rich, with iodized Chardonnays. The generous palate is built on a chalky backbone, giving it charm and precision. The experience on the palate is a display of classic yeasty tones that have layers of flavours expressing lime pith, citrus peel and green almond, the wine finishing on a comforting brioche note. The experience is memorable, a Cap Classique focussed on precision with a firm, well integrated mousse and persistent bead and flavours – the universal lifeblood of a great bottle-fermented sparkling wine.
