VineVenom Serenade Cap Classique 2015 Bottle size: 750ml

'The wine shows a lovely creamy explosive mousse with a fine bubble, lovely bright tangy acids and a complex bouquet of green apple skins, grilled almonds, cardamom and spicy white citrus. The palate is full and expansive, tangy and fresh with sweet and sour acids, layers of citrus, yellow grapefruit, lemon cream biscuits, crunchy green apples and a long, dry, saline picante finish. Very impressive depth of fruit but also beautiful complexity, electric vibrancy and a stony cool climate minerality on the finish. A thoroughly accomplished wine that will titillate fellow Champagne and sparking wine devotees. (1,600 bottles produced.)' – Greg Sherwood MW, 93+/100

'The nose shows a top note of flinty reduction before lemon, Granny Smith apple and a hint of raspberry plus the merest hint of yeasty complexity. The palate is lean and fresh with a very fine mousse and a bone-dry finish. This a very focused offering with lovely fruit definition – wonderfully energizing to drink.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100

'The nose presents with Granny Smith apples, chamomile, oats, pistachio, with a hint of nectarines and sunflower seeds. Slight lemon zest pithiness, opening to a naturally fresh palate. Lively and taut with notes of aniseed and quince. The delicate, fine bead provides palate lift with a lasting mineral-saline mousse. Flavours of salty macadamia and hay round off the finish. Enjoyable young but will certainly develop with age.' – Samantha Suddons, Winemaker
