Boschendal Brut Rose NV, comprises of the Pinotage, the offspring of Pinot Noir and Hermitage, is carefully selected to complement Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in this blended Cap Classique. The grapes are selected from a variety of Boschendal’s finest vineyards and harvested at lower sugar levels to retain a bracing freshness required in the base wine. After whole bunch pressing of the red grapes, the juice is bled off immediately and blended with 20% Chardonnay wine which results in a beautiful light salmon tint. Bright red berry flavours abound on the nose and palate, supported by an elegant mouth-feel and a mouth-watering, refreshing finish.
The collection of fine Cap Classique sparkling wines are made according to the traditional champenoise method, with early harvesting at lower sugar levels to achieve the desired freshness needed for the base wine. The secondary bottle fermentation is followed by extended lees contact in the bottle which ensures opulence and texture without compromising the inherent vibrant fruit detail and natural freshness.
