Le Lude Winery in South Africa’s Western Cape shows with its 2019 Brut Rosé just how masterful handcrafted Cap Classique can be. Made from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier harvested by hand in cool conditions, the base wine underwent no malolactic fermentation and was matured partly in wood and predominantly in stainless steel before being refined through over 36 months of bottle ageing on the lees. In the glass, it shimmers a delicate salmon-orange, while a complex bouquet of fresh watermelon, ripe peach and grapefruit rises from the glass. Fine floral nuances of rose petals combine with a gentle hint of honey and yoghurt to create wonderfully deep aromas. On the palate, silky-fine bubbles and crystalline freshness delight, supported by sour cherries, juicy nectarine and invigorating lemon zest. With precise acidity of 5.2 g/l, a delicate dosage of 3.3 g/l and a slender 11.76% ABV, this sparkling wine brings a wonderfully taut mineral purity to the glass.

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.
