Jacques Bruere Cap Classique Brut Rose

Neatly tucked between the life-sustaining waters of the Breede River and the impressive Langeberg mountain range lies Bon Courage Wine Estate. This prestigious award-winning family-run estate has been the recipient of many awards and received wide acclaim both locally and internationally for its wines and is truly a versatile estate. The history of the estate goes back to 1927 when the Bruwers bought the farm. It was in October 1983 that owner, Andr Bruwer changed the farm’s name from Goedemoed to the French translation, Bon Courage, in honour of their French ancestors, and registed Bon Courage as an Estate. Due to the estate’s diversity of soils, a wide range of grape varietals can thrive on the farm and they have therefore put much effort into matching the correct cultivar to the ideal soil type. Bon Courage is highly respected for its ability to produce a diverse collection of award-winning wines across the board, in terms of cultivars, styles and price-points, all offering consistency in quality. Three generations of the Bruwer family have dedicated their lives to the production of premium wines and today they combine their experience, personal attention and love for wine to produce some of the countrys finest wines.

Vinification

The base wine was kept on its lees for 8 months initially during the first fermentation. The second fermentation is then allowed to take place in the bottle, thereby extending maturation on the lees for 96 months. After disgorgement and dosage the final product is left on the cork and then released in October 2021.

Tasting Notes

Full yeasty rich flavours with hints of raspberry. Silky richness filled with red berries and balanced with subtle mineral undertones.

To be enjoyed on its own or with seafood based canaps. Truly versatile and can be served with oysters, salmon, tuna, prosciutto, sushi, Asian style dishes, rich cheeses and red berry desserts.
