| This crowd-pleasing, bargain-priced, méthode champenoise aka Cap Classique has a bright salmon pink colour. Gently spicy, slightly toasty, fairly complex, ripe plum-raspberry fruit on the nose. Dry, medium bodied, well structured, slightly spicy, bright, ripe, plum-cherry-raspberry purée flavours with a lingering, fairly effervescent, mouth filling, harmonious finish. Impressive and ready to drink. Based on the 2019 vintage, it is a NEW blend of 51% Chardonnay, 44% Pinot Noir, 3% Pinot Meunier, 1% Pinot Gris and 1% Chenin Blanc.

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: A nicely toasty and biscuity, complex sparkling rosé from Cap Classique specialist Pongrácz - I like the full-flavoured palate, the dry styling, the fresh acids and the long finish. Very impressive at the price. Score - 90 (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, May 22, 2019) |
