GM & A Ahrens Vintage Cuvee Brut 2012

75cl / 12.5% – This is a collaboration between two passionate sparkling wine makers: Gerrit Maritz and Albert Ahrens. They produce the wines in the classic traditional method and mature them in Franschhoek. Their Cap Classique is one of South Africa’s top sparkling wines. Spending four years on the lees it has surprising freshness with lovely ripe fruit, Golden Delicious apple, and a toasty note with green walnuts and a salty citrus finish. This wine is bone dry – Dawn Davies MW
