Klein Constantia Cap Classique Blanc de Blanc, 2020
The 2020 Vintage
Klein Constantia is globally revered for its historic dessert wines, but this Cap Classique provides a masterclass in the estate’s cool-climate precision. Sourced entirely from high-elevation Chardonnay vines on the Constantiaberg mountain, this sparkling wine captures the piercing maritime energy of the Cape peninsula.
The winemaking adheres strictly to traditional methods, demanding the same level of patience and exactness found in the cellars of Champagne. After a gentle whole-bunch pressing and initial fermentation, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, resting on its lees for an extended period to build profound texture. This deliberate process weaves a fine, persistent mousse and a complex, biscuity richness without masking the vibrant natural acidity born from the estate's decomposed granite soils.
Pouring a glass reveals an incredibly taut, brilliantly focused profile of crisp green apple, lemon zest, and freshly baked brioche, all framed by an oyster-shell minerality. It is a highly intelligent, razor-sharp sparkling wine that commands attention, making an impeccable partner for fresh oysters or a Sunday smoked salmon brunch.
