Méthodo Cap Classique Brut - Pongrácz

A South African sparkling wine made in the méthode champenoise style by Pongrácz. The grapes come from vineyards in the Cape and Stellenbosch regions, with vines aged between 14 and 18 years. Pinot Noir vines grow at about 320 metres altitude and Chardonnay at about 100-150 metres. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented at low temperature in stainless steel, then refermented in bottle with about 24 months on the lees before disgorgement. Straw yellow with greenish reflections, persistent fine perlage, yeast, bread crust and delicate fruity aromas, with a structured palate, lively freshness and suave bouquet. Suited to cold seafood starters and delicate fish dishes.
