Benguela Cove Cuvée 58 Rosé Méthode Cap Classique 

Winemaking

Bestowed with all the privileges of the cool Walker Bay, Pinot Noir steals the spotlight in this blend. Grapes were hand harvested in the crisp
morning and carefully hand sorted. Whole bunch fermented and pressed; only free run juice was used to ensure the best quality. A partial malolactic fermentation (25%) was done to soften the acidity but to still preserve freshness and genteel aromas. After blending and bottling, a secondary fermentation was induced to initiate that fine bubbles Méthode Cap Classique is celebrated for. Time on lees: 12 months

Tasting Notes

The rosé gold hue invites with pronounced aromas of red berries, Turkish delight, pomegranate, and delicate violet undertones. The palate is fresh and persistent, delivering a lingering finish of strawberry, nougat, and sliced grapefruit. Fine, soft mousse caresses the palate, creating a tantalizing and delicious sparkling experience perfect for warm weather enjoyment.
