Boschendal Brut Rosé Cap ClassiqueFrom one of the Cape Winelands' most iconic estates, the Boschendal Brut Rosé Cap Classique is a celebration in a bottle. Crafted in the traditional méthode cap classique style — South Africa's answer to Champagne — this elegant sparkling wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, developing the fine, persistent bubbles and toasty complexity that define the category at its finest.A blend anchored by Pinot Noir with Chardonnay, it pours a delicate blush-pink with a steady stream of fine mousse. The nose is expressive and inviting — fresh strawberry and raspberry lead, followed by hints of brioche, rose petal, and a touch of citrus. On the palate, it is dry and beautifully structured, with bright acidity, creamy texture, and a long, refined finish that speaks to the estate's centuries of winemaking heritage.Tasting Notes Colour: Pale blush-pink with fine, persistent bubbles Nose: Strawberry, raspberry, brioche, rose petal, citrus zest Palate: Dry and elegant with creamy mousse, vibrant acidity, and red berry fruit Finish: Long, refined, and toasty Pairing SuggestionsA natural choice for celebrations and special occasions.
