Studying hard for our upcoming D4 exam. 😝 Tonight we’re analyzing 🤓 this absolutely delicious Cap Classique from Stellenbosch, South Africa 🇿🇦

Méthode Cap Classique - or just Cap Classique - is an indication the wine was produced in the same method as that used in Champagne 🍾 (the traditional method), but subject to different minimum aging among other requirements.

This wine is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes - classic! It’s dry - Brut - and spent more than 40 months aging on the lees, well above the minimum required. And. You. Can. Tell.

It has a gorgeous golden hue, evidence of its maturity. It also has complexity with concentrated primary, secondary, and tertiary notes, such as baked yellow apple, pear, dried lemon peel, white blossom, almond, brioche, toast, marzipan, biscuit, and raspberry cream notes.

We think it’s a steal for $29.99 at places like @southlyndaleliquors
