Durbanville’s Cap Classique wines have consistently shone in championships, and it’s no surprise why. The region’s cool climate, exceptional soils, abundant sunlight, and refreshing ocean breezes create the perfect conditions for top-quality vineyards. Combined with the multi-generational expertise of Durbanville wineries, these factors make local Cap Classique wines a favourite among connoisseurs.
Cap Classique is not just a wine; it’s a versatile delight enjoyed at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even in cocktails. Its adaptability makes it arguably the most versatile of wines, with a fascinating story to boot. Introduced to South Africa in 1971, Cap Classique is crafted using the same methods as Champagne, involving careful winemaking and a second fermentation in the bottle to produce refined bubbles and complex flavours.
In Durbanville, renowned producers like Groot Phesantekraal, Diemersdal, Canto, Meerendal, Bloemendal, Maastricht, Nitida, Klein Roosboom, Durbanville Hills, and De Grendel create these exquisite wines. The region’s Cap Classique captivates the senses, and this gift set aims to convey that enchantment. It includes a bottle of bubbly, a set of two Schott Zwiesel PURE sparkling wine flutes from Ambience Hospitality, Cap Classique-inspired nougat bars by COCOAFAIR, and a delightful, fruity-scented Anke Pink Champagne Soy Candle to set the scene.
Durbanville Wine Valley Cap Classiques are not reserved for special occasions alone. Many wineries offer dedicated tastings of their wines in this style at their visitor facilities. For an extra touch of indulgence, visit the COCOAFAIR chocolatery at Meerendal Wine Estate, where culinary excellence awaits.
