Fragrant, poised grenache with loads of energy. Great wines! Grenache is the future! Two of the 7 Yangarra wines tasted with Peter Fraser at this weekend’s @swartlandrevolution
What a weekend. Thank you Swartland - incredible people, exceptional wine, lots of learning, and way too much fun. Eben, Adi, Andrea, Chris, Callie (and the amazing team working with you) - surely the greatest Swartland Revolution of them all.
Pieter Ferreira Cap Classique Birdsong Rosé Extra Brut 2018
100% Pinot Noir, multi regions blends, staggering 6.5 years on the lees and only 2987 bottles produced, their best to date.
Sherbet, racy, fine bubbles, bready and lean, lovely precision with textural depth, long persistent lenght, vintage Champagne like complexity, world class
Match with Franschhoek trout cheviche, dehydrated strawberry flakes, chives and shiitake mushrooms dust

Pieter Ferreira Cap Classique Blanc de Blancs 2019
A mind blowing world class Chardonnay Cap Classique showing super complex bready, biscuity, salty lemon cut and precision results of its 3.4g dosage, long, lean and savoury with incredible depth, lenght and stature, this is as close as it will get from the real stuff at the very top end
Matched it with pan seared scallops in guanciale, that's it

Soft launch at Marble Cape Town. Stunning wraparound views, much metal, grill & fire. Small bites exactly as good as David Higgs can do. Ethereal wine list. And then there’s this, @Alchemyxbubbles@BubblesAnn . Who needs Dom P?
Feedback from judging head of #amorimCapClassique Heidi Duminy. Rosé: colour is important- don't go too pale. Brut blends is the producer playground, bringing together skill & passion; blanc de blanc - expect the most. @CapClassique_SA
