Wildekrans Estate Méthode Cap Classique 2006 and 2007

2006 Wildekrans Estate Méthode Cap Classique Brut 88+ Points

Clear, pale straw, medium concentration, low plus viscosity, tiny fine bubbles, lively.

Clean, shows beautiful maturity, with notes of ripe citrus, brioche, toast corn and pain grille, textured rich mouth feels, creamy with intense mid palate leesy complexity, good length, fresh, very well made, honeyed aftertaste.

From now until 2017.The best to date, even better than the 2002.

Only 2780 bottles made, 100% Walker Bay Chardonnay

2007 Wildekrans Estate Méthode Cap Classique Brut 80+ Points

This time 100 % Chenin Blanc.

Clear, pale bright, medium concentration, low plus viscosity, coarser bubbles, but lively.

Clean, young, austere, with notes of Golden Delicious apples and grilled almond flakes, sea breezy minerality, elegant and delicate mouth feels, good restraint, but touch of bitterness distract, need more time to settle, but will develop.

From 2010 until 2017
