Boschendal Brut Cap Classique NV Review
With 300 years of winemaking experience working with regenerative farming practices, as well as running a bakery, a butchery, and deli on its estate, Boschendal is a powerhouse of progressive, sustainable living. The winery began making sparkling wine, dubbed Cap Classique, in 1981. This bottling is made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and has a subtle fruit driven nose and an even, balanced mouthfeel with a nice concentration of fruit and slight grip around the edges culminating in a balanced finish.
