Steenberg 1682 Pinot Noir Méthode Cap Classique Brut is fresh with fruity aromas of raspberry jelly, wild strawberry sorbet, red apple skin and toasted brioche. The wine has a very fine mousse that lifts the raspberry-like aromas and is balanced well with a creamy texture and bright acidity with a lingering dry finish. Enjoy in its youth or cellar for 3 to 5 years to promote a more savoury flavour development.
The Brut 1682 Pinot Noir Cap Classique is made in the traditional French method and is designated Cap Classique. The grapes were hand-picked at low sugar levels of 18.5 - 19°B and whole-bunch pressed. The extracted juice is low in phenols, high in natural acidity and has a delicate pink color and fine strawberry flavour. The juice ferments with a strong yeast strain to form the base wine. Once the base wine is stabilised, it is fermented a second time in the bottle under crown cap. This second fermentation creates the bubbles or mousse. Post fermentation, the wine was aged on its yeast lees for a minimum of 15 months.
