This limpid wine has a straw undertone. A symphony of energetic yet elegant bubbles creates a crown of fresh delights in the glass. Sizzling notes of white peach contrast with red berries capturing the presence of the three grape varietals. The palate is sculptured into an orchard of white peach and apples with secondary yeast flavours. There is a fine balance between the fruit and acidity displaying beautiful finesse and elegance. Kaapse Vonkel has an unforgettable finish that captures a moment in time, transforming it into a celebration. AWARDS: 90 pts Tim Atkin 'Best of South-Africa'.
