Simonsig, The Society's Exhibition Cap Classique, Méthode Cap Classique, South Africa 2023

Made by a (the) pioneer of South African traditional-method sparkling wine, Simonsig, this is outstanding value and easily the equal, or more, of many a pricier Champagne or Crémant. Chardonnay leads the way in a blend of the trad Champagne trio, for a wine of elegance, fruit purity and fine, lacy mousse.
