Niel Joubert – Christine-Marié Chardonnay Brut Cap Classique NV

This festive wine, with its appealing pale-gold colour and countless beads of fine bubbles, displays inviting aromas of bruised yellow apples, almonds, citrus peel, custard and ripe stone fruits. The palate is refreshing and invigorating, with a delicate mousse and an integrated acidity. The fruit spectrum is beautifully balanced against the backdrop of yeasty notes, with long-lasting flavours of lemon peel and baked apple pie on the finish.

Serve with fresh oysters, sushi, poached salmon, seafood in a light cream sauce, asparagus, artichokes, cheese soufflé, grilled lobster, and baked apple pie.
