2017 The Drift Estate ‘Penelope’ Méthode Cap Classic
£28.70 / Per Bottle
This wine is a great accompaniment to our Overberg Highland sunsets and as an aperitif before dinner. It is fresh, creamy, with soft red fruit flavours on the palate and aromas of mangosteen and strawberry.

Winemaker’s notes
After traditional whole-bunch basket-pressing, we allow the wine to ferment in old barrels. This allows us to build creamy mouthfeel without imparting any wood flavour to the wine. After a few months’ maturation in barrel, the wine is transferred to their bottles for the secondary fermentation, where the CO2 bubbles are entrapped into the wine in the traditional Champagne method.
It also pairs brilliantly with seafood like sustainably-farmed oysters and abalone.
