Wine Description:
The Kaapse Vonkel Brut Sparkling Wine from Simonsig Wine Estate is the first sparkling wine produced in South Africa using the méthode champenoise. With a long-standing tradition, it has evolved into an outstandingly complex and fruitfully noble sparkling wine. It possesses a gentle straw-yellow color with lively, ascending bubbles that form a delicate crown of foam around the edge. This Brut is a South African Cap Classique with a complex bouquet of delicately floral and fruity aromas of ripe yellow apples and citrus fruits. Hints of red berries and baked apple lend it complexity. A fresh, long-lasting, and finely effervescent mousse supports the full-bodied palate, providing a mouth-filling sensation before leading into a persistently clean and dry finish.
