With the future release, 2007 harvest with 25 % Reserve wine from the previous vintages most of it matured in wood, expect a more complex, mature and profound Méthode Cap Classique, this is a label to watch closely and should never be left forgotten at any celebration or tasting where quality and benchmark South African wines is the order of the day, keep it up Jean Philippe.
Excellent value, highly recommended, this is a must for any respected wine list
