Time to Celebrate #CapClassiqueDay

Even though we're all still under National Lockdown & with the current restrictions on getting your hands on some bubbles, on 1 September 2020, it's time to celebrate the 2nd #CapClassiqueDay! So we decided to share some more #PerfectedByTime moments & thoughts ahead of time, so that you can start planning your own way to celebrate. (Hopefully with a bottle of bubbles that you've been saving in the back of the cupboard for some worthy celebration.)

A rather new addition to the yearly wine calendar, this initiative was started in 2019 by the Cap Classique Producers Association (CCPA). The #CapClassiqueDay has a rather simple purpose - 'to encourage people from different walks of life to unite their passion & love for bubbly.'

Did you know that the 1st bottle of Cap Classique was produced by Simonsig back in 1971, which means that next year, we will be celebrating 50 years of Cap Classique! An art truly #PerfectedByTime, taking a minimum of 9 months to produce a single bottle, means that most of the bottles of Cap Classique we will be celebrating with next, have already been bottled & are waiting for the date.

- Alleé Bleue Brut Rose 2012

De Krans Espresso N/V

A recent achievement for De Krans Wine Esate is that they were awarded the Most Innovative Wine Award for their De Krans Espresso at the Michelangelo International Wine Awards.

And we got to taste some of it! Before we get in on the action of what's in the bottle, lets chat about how it gets to the bottle. 

The De Krans Espresso is made mainly from Portuguese varietals that were planted in Calitzdorp back in the early 1970's. So you know there is some nice age & history in those vineyards. 

Handpicked from selected blocks ensure only the best grapes are used. Skins are pressed to add some beautiful colour & then matured in old 300 litre barrels. Then just before bottling, wine from different vintages are blended in a tank whilst heavy toasted oak blocks are added to give that roasted coffee mocha touch to the wine. 

Coming back to what's in the glass - a dark deep red with an absolutely beautiful initial nose of mocha & dark chocolate whilst subtle hints of violets & ripe red plums come through as the wine airs. On the palate you will naturally get those roasted coffee beans mixed with rich red fruits.

A versatile dessert wine best served chilled. However, I opted in to make a warm Espresso Martini, which in this current weather that we've been having, proved to be the perfect way to end off that Sunday lunch. 

As a Father's Day surprise, we've partnered with De Krans Wine Estate & we have 2 cases of De Krans Espresso N/V to giveaway.

Head on over to our Facebook Page - As Seen By Lloyd here to enter.
