White

The only thing traditional about this sparkling is the grapes, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Sourced from the neighbouring organic farm, Org de Rac, on the banks of the Berg River in the Koringberg. Owner-winemaker Mphumeleli Ndlangisa favours natural winemaking, and so the grapes were whole-bunch pressed into concrete eggs for spontaneous ferment. Secondary fermentation took place in bottle. The wine remains on its fine lees in bottle, with no disgorgement taking place. Crown-capped, it has all the energy of a pét-nat, with lively bubbles, ripe citrus, apples and a bright, juicy savoury acidity. Appetisingly bone dry.
