Exclusive to Museum Wines in the U.K: Black Elephant Vintners & Co, Cap Classique Zero Dosage NV 17/20 on Jancis Robinson:
THE NOTE
100% Chardonnay from a single vineyard growing in the cool-climate Elgin valley. 100 months sur lattes. I do wish sparkling-wine producers would put the disgorgement date on the label! Golden with a rush of bubble on the pour that quickly disappear. Lemon creams on the nose, lanolin and aloe vera in an exceedingly tense, bone-achingly dry palate. White-knuckled austerity. Grapefruit-peel oils build substantial bitterness into the structure. Adamantly demands food – good with very briny green olives, and would be, I suspect, even better with salty smoked fish, oysters (I'd love to try it with Fiona Beckett's suggestion for brut nature champagne, Simon Hopkinson's oysters Rockefeller), or maybe a bacalhau dish. Makes a dramatic statement. Tastes of sheer cliff faces pounded by cold ocean. (TC) 12.5%

Everything the light touches... More evidence that our range of South African wines is top-shelf stuff - Jancis Robinson MW published an article scoring 40 wines from South Africa - and 13 of them are wines from our range of South African wines EXCLUSIVE to us in the UK!

Not only did our wines comprise more than 25% of the selection but they also received the highest scores in the Sparkling, White, Rosé and Red categories. Only missing out on the Sweet section as the only wine scored was Vin de Constance, certainly nothing to be embarrassed about there! See some of the top scores below, and shop them on our site.
