Boschendal Grand Cuvee 2016

This top-quality Cap Classique made from grapes cultivated in meticulously maintained vineyards is typical of a classic bottled fermented sparkling wine with fresh green apple and hints of citrus supported by discreet almond biscotti and brioche. Extended lees contact gives a full and creamy mouthfeel with elegant minerality, good balance and a seamless finish. Classy.

Buy this wine because the cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay implies a longer growing season, which results in intensified flavours, whilst a fresh and crisp base wine is still attained. This is a classy sparkling wine which can be appreciated on all occasions

It pairs great with smoked salmon, crème fraiche, capers, brown bread and butter
