Kaapse Vonkel Brut Methode Cap Classique - Simonsig

Kaapse Vonkel Brut Methode Cap Classique - SimonsigKaapse Vonkel Brut Sparkling Wine from Simonsig Wine Estate is the first sparkling wine produced in South Africa using the méthode champenoise. Over a long tradition, an excellently multi-layered and nobly fruity sparkling wine has developed. It has a gentle straw-yellow color with lively rising bubbles that form a fine crown of foam at the rim. This Brut is a South African Cap Classique with a complex bouquet of delicate floral and fruity aromas of ripe yellow apples and citrus fruits. Nuances of red berries and baked apple lend it complexity. Fresh, long-lasting and finely sparkling mousseux supports the full flavor on the full-bodied palate and provides a mouth-filling sensation before it flows into a persistently clean and dry finish. Kaapse Vonkel from Simonsig is one of our bestsellers from South Africa!
