Colmant Blanc de Blancs NV
R427.00
Delicate light gold hue with lime green highlights and fine persistent bubbles. Expect lime blossom aromatics, fresh citrus, distinctive green apple and richer notes of toasted bread and brioche from long maturation.
Lively bubbles carry flavours of vivacious and typical citrus zest set against a creamy backdrop of minerality, a faint sheen of wood, roasted nuts and broad, mature notes of bread and toast on the palate.
The intense freshness and elegance of this wine pairs beautifully with delicate seafood dishes such as pan fried scallops, oysters or line fish “au beurre blanc”. This wine also complements the flavours of parmesan, asparagus, artichokes and parma ham.
Description
At the helm of this new era is Paul Gerber, a South African visionary winemaker whose expertise and passion have been instrumental in shaping the success of Colmant Winery.
Colmant Blanc de Blancs is made from fruit off selected vineyards in Franschhoek, Elgin and Robertson. The aim is finesse, freshness and elegance on this 100% Chardonnay. True to house style, a portion of the base wine (15%) was barrel fermented to add a wooded, structured nuance to the final product. Similarly, 20% of the wine is specially selected from the previous year’s harvests, kept in prime French oak for the purpose of adding complexity, intensity and harmony. Rich and creamy toast and brioche character develops as the wine undergoes its long 45 month maturation at a steady 14°C before final release.
Dosage: 4 to 4.5g of sugar per litre.
