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.

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
