Villiera Pearls of Nectar Demi Sec NV
Cap Classique
Description
Villiera Estate has played an important role in shaping South Africa’s Cap Classique category, producing traditionally made sparkling wines in Stellenbosch for decades. Family-owned and sustainability-focused, the estate combines meticulous vineyard management with careful cellar work to create sparkling wines that remain approachable and expressive across a range of styles.
Villiera Pearls of Nectar Demi Sec NV offers a slightly sweeter interpretation of Cap Classique, crafted using the traditional method with secondary fermentation in bottle. The blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir brings freshness and elegance, while the demi-sec dosage adds softness and fruit generosity without overwhelming the wine’s natural balance. Extended lees contact contributes texture and subtle brioche complexity beneath the vibrant fruit profile.
Colour:
Pale gold with a lively stream of fine bubbles and bright clarity.
Nose:
Fresh aromas of ripe peach, golden apple and citrus blossom lead the nose, followed by hints of honey, brioche and soft almond.
Palate:
The palate is smooth and fruit-forward, offering flavours of pear, peach and sweet lemon balanced by crisp acidity and a creamy mousse. The touch of sweetness adds roundness and accessibility while still allowing freshness and structure to carry the wine comfortably.
Finish:
Soft, refreshing and gently lingering, with notes of stone fruit, citrus peel and delicate biscuit character on the finish.
