Pieter Ferreira Cap Classique Rosé 2016 is an attractive salmon colour with a vibrant yet fine persistent bead of mousse. This release of Rose offers wonderful balance, ripe fruit some perfume and restraint. A delicate floral perfume in the glass before offering pomegranate and cherries with a hint of summer fruits. Refreshing acidity and smooth bubbles make this a particularly food friendly. Delicate yeasty tones, layered with red berry fruit fills the palate with complexity.

This incredible bubbles is produced in very limited quantities (2400 bottles per year), and spends 6 years on the lees for optimal maturation. We would expect nothing less from the sparkling wine power couple from South Africa Mr & Mrs Bubbles (aka Pieter and Ann Ferreira)

Aromatics of flowers, dried herbs, citrus and peach. The palate has good fruit expression, nicely integrated acidity and ever so slight phenolic grip to the finish.
