Nederburg Première Cuvée Brut

Wine information: The Foundation Collection is the entry point for Nederburg wines. The Nederburg Première Cuvée Brut is made from a blend of Cape Riesling (45%), Chenin blanc (36%), Chardonnay (12%) and Colombar (7%) grapes. The grapes were sourced from vineyards across the Western Cape. Planted between 1989 and 1994, the vines are grown in irrigated, sandy riverbeds and decomposed granite and situated some 60m to 120m above sea level. The grapes were harvested by hand at 19º to 20º Balling during the end of January and beginning of February. The fruit was crushed and then cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 13ºC for a period of two to three weeks. No skin contact was allowed and only the free-run juice was used. The wine was left on the lees for almost two months prior to final blending. This sparkling wine is brilliantly clear with a lasting sparkle. The nose has delicate floral / fruit aromas leading to a crisp palate with a fresh and lingering aftertaste. The perfect partner to any celebration, it gives a bracing vitality to fresh oysters, seasonal fruits, omelettes, Eggs Benedict and is also excellent served on its own.
