For Celebrating on Mother’s Day: Sparkling Wine
Van Hunks Cap Classique Brut Sparkling Wine
Bold, gold, smooth and dry, Van Hunks Brut Cap Classique is easy drinking, with perfect tiny bubbles. Van Hunks Cap Classique is produced using a traditional method identical to Méthode Champenoise. It is bottle fermented in small batches and matured in contact with the lees for approximately 30 months. Showcasing the best of South African sparkling wine, this Cap Classique is a blend of red and white grapes displaying the full, balanced yeasty complexity synonymous with a wine made in this style. The wine retains its fresh zestiness that is a result of crisp acidity and delicate fruit.
RRP: £20 for 75cl bottle. ABV: 12%. Available from: Van Hunks Drinks and Amazon
