Quoin Rock Black Series Brut 2018
Cap Classique
Description
Quoin Rock Estate is situated on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, where elevated vineyards and cooling breezes create ideal conditions for producing wines with freshness and structure. The estate has built a reputation for meticulous vineyard management and a modern, detail-focused approach to winemaking, with an emphasis on purity, balance and site expression.
The Black Series Brut 2018 is produced in the traditional method from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, following extended lees maturation to build texture and complexity. The cooler growing conditions at altitude allow the grapes to retain vibrant acidity, which is essential for premium sparkling wine production. Careful cellar work and time on the lees contribute layers of brioche, citrus and mineral detail while maintaining a focused, elegant style.
Colour:
Bright pale gold with a fine, persistent mousse.
Nose:
Fresh aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white peach are layered with notes of brioche, toasted almonds and subtle biscuit complexity from lees ageing.
Palate:
Elegant and finely textured, with crisp acidity supporting flavours of citrus, pear and stone fruit. Extended lees contact adds creaminess and depth, while the fine mousse keeps the palate lively and precise. The balance between freshness and richness gives the wine both energy and sophistication.
Finish:
Long, clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus, brioche and mineral notes on the finish.

- Food Pairing : Quoin Rock Black Series Brut 2018 pairs beautifully with dishes that balance richness and freshness. Fresh oysters, tempura prawns, smoked salmon or creamy mushroom tart all work particularly well, as the wine’s vibrant acidity cuts through richer textures while the lees-driven creaminess complements buttery or savoury flavours. It also makes an excellent aperitif-style sparkling wine for lighter canapés, sushi or soft cheeses shared around the table.
