Le Lude
The Winery Le Lude in the enchanting Franschhoek wine region, South Africa, has made a name for itself with its top-class Cap Classique sparkling wine. With dedication, everything here is devoted to the traditional method of producing sparkling wine.
The grapes, carefully hand-selected, mainly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, form the foundation for elegant and complex wines. The unique terroir of Franschhoek , with its diverse soils and ideal climate, creates perfect conditions. This is how sparkling wines with fine, delicate bubbles, well-balanced acidity, and expressive aromas are made, such as the well-known Le Lude Brut.

On the nose the Vintage Cuvée 2016 from Winery Le Lude with aromas of green apple, white peach, lemon zest, accompanied by a hint of hazelnut and fresh brioche from the long lees ageing. On the palate it presents taut and lively, supported by a finely balanced acidity and a precise, creamy mousse.


Chardonnay & Pinot Noir
The cuvée of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir combines freshness with substance and is particularly well established as a sparkling wine . Chardonnay often contributes citrus and apple notes, lively acidity and a slender profile; Pinot Noir adds body, structure and sometimes delicate red fruit. Together, they create a balanced yet taut and full-bodied style. The acidity and substance support its ageing potential; extended lees ageing can add brioche and toasted notes.
This combination is classic in Champagne, and is also found in high-quality sparkling wines from other cool regions, such as England. With light pressing, the cuvée is usually pale yellow to golden yellow, and delicate pink as a rosé. Despite its dark berry skins, Pinot Noir contributes hardly any perceptible tanninwhen handled gently. The perlage accentuates freshness and texture; depending on the Aged, the wine may feel linear or creamy. It pairs well with fish, white meat and mild vegetable dishes.
