Survivor Cap Classique 2022
Survivor Wines is a South African range produced by Van Loveren Family Vineyards, with a focus on expressing the distinctive character of different wine-growing regions. Its Cap Classique comes from Darling, where cooling Atlantic breezes and a maritime climate help grapes retain the natural acidity needed for fresh, vibrant sparkling wine. Made using the traditional bottle-fermentation method, Cap Classique develops its fine bubbles and additional complexity through a second fermentation in the bottle. Hand-harvested Chardonnay, gentle whole-bunch pressing, stainless-steel fermentation and 16 months on the lees before disgorgement.
Colour: Pale lemon with a subtle green hue, accompanied by a fine stream of persistent bubbles.
Nose: Fresh citrus aromas of lemon and lemongrass lead, followed by green plum, quince and hints of fresh herbs. A cool, stony note adds complexity and reflects the coastal character described in the producer's published notes for an earlier vintage.
Palate: Fresh and lively, with citrus and green-fruit flavours carried by a fine mousse. A creamy texture adds softness, while bright acidity keeps the palate crisp and refreshing. Subtle savoury and mineral notes provide interest beyond the fruit.
Finish: Clean and persistent, with lingering lemon, fresh herbs and a delicate savoury edge.
- Food Pairing : Survivor Cap Classique 2022 is a natural aperitif and pairs well with fresh oysters, grilled prawns or sushi, where its lively acidity and fine bubbles refresh the palate. It also works beautifully with smoked salmon blinis, as the citrus character cuts through the richness of the fish and cream cheese. For a South African twist, serve it with crispy calamari and lemon aioli, or alongside lightly spiced fish tacos with fresh lime. The wine's freshness makes it particularly versatile with seafood and light starters.
