Kay and Monty is one of the wine farms in Plettenb Kay and Monty is one of the wine farms in Plettenberg Bay. It’s a boutique winery established in 2004 and the tasting room was an old orchid greenhouse, thoughtfully converted into a modern rustic venue. They have less than 5 hectares under vine , and produce Sauvignon Blanc and a deliciously dry Chardonnay Cap Classique called Champu. @kayandmonty #plettitsafeeling #kayandmonty #champu #drinkwine #winelife #winelover #kayandmontyvineyards #winepairing #capewinelands #winegirl #plett #plettwinelands #plettwineroute #winetasting #drinksouthafrican #sawine #wosa #southafricanwine #spectacularsouthafrica #plettenbergbay #boutiquewine
Cap Classique season is in full swing! Sipped on t Cap Classique season is in full swing! Sipped on the lovely @pongracz_sa Desiderius. Desiderius is a Latin given name, related to desiderium - which can be translated as "ardent desire" or "the longed-for". Much is the way we patiently wait for this delicious Cap Classique to ferment, so we can enjoy the delightful bubbles 🤩 It’s a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The combination of fresh fruit, lively bubbles, almonds and rich buttery bread is a delight to the senses. Retails for R550 a bottle. #capclassique #pongracz #drinkwine #winelife #winelover #capewinelands #winegirl #winetasting #drinksouthafrican #sawine #wosa #southafricanwine #spectacularsouthafrica
Newstead is one of the wineries I visited in Plett Newstead is one of the wineries I visited in Plettenberg Bay. This region is comparable to the climate and geography of New Zealand and produces some pretty good Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Newstead became the first producer outside of the traditional Western Cape winelands to be crowned overall winner of the Amorim Cap Classique Challenge, South Africa’s leading competition focussed exclusively on the country’s top Cap Classique sparkling wines. Newstead MCC Blanc de Blanc 2015 took a Double Gold Medal and Trophy for Best Blanc de Blanc, and was named the Top Scoring Cap Classique for 2020.
