A Méthode Cap Classique from Stellenbosch's respected Simonsig Estate — pioneers of South African sparkling wine — this 100% Chardonnay blanc de blancs is crisp and refreshing, with lemon zest and green apple framed by fine bubbles and a subtle toasty note. The cool-influenced Stellenbosch fruit keeps acidity lively and the palate clean, finishing with a pleasing chalky minerality. Approachable and well-made, it's a reliable celebration fizz that holds its own against many entry-level Champagnes.
Serving: Serve at 6–8 °C.
