Our flagship Cap Classique is also celebrated as Best Cap Classique and One of The 20 Best Wines In South Africa 2020. 

The Amorim Cap Classique Challenge was created in 2002 to honour the excellence of Cap Classique wines by Joaquim Sá, CEO of Amorim Cork and Harold Eedes, publisher of the erstwhile Wine Magazine. 

The Amorim Cap Classique Challenge is South Africa's leading event for this category, affording recognition to the country's astounding array of naturally fermented sparkling wines, Méthode Cap Classique.

A Word from Our Winemaker 

This is a vintage that captures the class and finesse that chardonnay is known for in traditional sparkling wines all over the world. Notes of white floral and intricate notes of citrus peel, quince and grapefruit rise to the surface in a fine, vibrant mousse. Pinot Noir adds palate weight to balance the vibrant Chardonnay acidity, complete with a chalky minerality that adds to the length. Pure sophistication “
