TASTING NOTE: Anthonij Rupert is one of South Africa's iconic producers. This bubbly blends 55% Chardonnay with 45% Pinot Noir. It's elegant and lemony, with gentle effervescence and a long, tangy finish. Chill and sip with seafood appetizers, or panko-crusted cod with parsley and lemon. (Vintages panel, Nov. 2016) |
