The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes for this sparkling wine come from vines with an average age of 16 years.

The Spier Méthode Cap Classique Brut is a brilliant straw yellow in the glass. Its invigorating bouquet is fresh and clear, offering strong aromas of apples, along with fragrances of fresh cake. The sparkling wine is well-balanced on the palate, with a beguiling and stable acidity. The formation of exceedingly large bubbles underscores the vivid aftertaste.

Spier Wines

Die Spier Wine Farm liegt in der weltberühmten Weinregion Stellenbosch in Südafrika, etwa 50 Kilometer von Kapstadt entfernt. Der Hof hat eine lange Geschichte, die zurückreicht bis ins Jahr 1692. Als einer der ältesten Höfe in der Region ist Spier für seine kapholländischen Giebelhäuser bekannt, eine besondere Form der Architektur. Auf den Ländereien des Weingutes Spier stehen gleich 21 gut erhaltene Häuser. Diese „Gables“ zeugen von den Einflüssen der Gründer aus dem mittelalterlichen Europa und sind eine wahre Attraktion in Südafrika.

Niel Joubert kaufte Spier 1965. Damals war es üblich, Wein für die größeren Genossenschaftskellereien, wie der Stellenbosch Farmers Winery und KWV, zu produzieren. 1971 begann er jedoch mit der Abfüllung seiner eigenen Weinmarken. 1993 ging der Hof in den Besitz von Dick Enthoven über. Unter seiner Führung begann eine umfangreiche Renovierung, um die historischen Gebäude der Farm zu erhalten. Die Wein-Produktion und ein breites Angebot an Freizeitaktivitäten sind heute das Kerngeschäft auf dem Hof. Spier ist in beiden Geschäftsfeldern für seine Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen bekannt.

Product recommendation

Pongracz Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) Brut
The Pongracz Méthode Cap Classique Brut is made from the traditional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape varieties. After the first fermentation and the subsequent malolactic fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the yeast for another two years in order to carry out the secondary fermentation in the bottle. After the sediment is removed, the bottles are corked up and kept in a cool place for 2 to 4 months before the sparkling wine is launched on the market. The Pongracz Pongracz Méthode Cap Classique Brut is impressive in its enormous complexity and wonderful elegance. The bouquet offers intense fragrances of green apples and fresh bread. On the palate, it offers fine notes of yeast that are softly overlaid with roast aromas and nuances of red fruit. The persistent perlage gives the sparkling wine its stimulating freshness. The palate pampers your senses with fruity notes of blackberries and a prolonged finish. Pongracz Méthode Cap Classique Brut is an ideal aperitif for any occasion and also goes beautifully with seafood or oysters.
