Award: Gold
Tasting Category: Bottle Fermented Sparkling – Blanc de Blancs – Districts of Breede River Valley WO – Vintage 2009-2008
Origin of Entry: South Africa
Judges Tasting Notes:
Bright, pale gold. Finest of energetic bead giving firm, long lasting, crown. Bakery aromas mingled with hints of fynbos
and light hint of oak. Big, creamy mousse with bread and doughy flavours backed by fresh lemon and some pear.
Lively flow across the palate yet as smooth as can be. Delightful and refreshing. Lovely and gorgeous to enjoy now yet
will develop in the bottle with interest.
