Southeast of Cape Town, in the cool, high valley of Hemel-En-Aarde, amid extraordinary biodiversity set on schist, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have found a new home. The cool oceanic nights give rise to ripe grapes with a beautiful freshness, which this 48-month champagne method on lees transcribes perfectly: fine, dynamic bubbles, an elegant, salivating acidic structure that gradually gains in volume with the Pinot Noir, all dressed up with aromas of citrus fruit, nectarines, raspberry and brioche.
