{"product_id":"darling-cellars-blanc-de-blanc-cap-classique-2024","title":"Darling Cellars Blanc de Blanc Cap Classique 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eDarling Cellars sits just off the West Coast’s breezy vineyards of Darling in the Western Cape, a region where cooling ocean influence and well-drained soils help retain crisp natural acidity - a key asset for sparkling wine. Known for approachable, site-driven wines, Darling Cellars embraces traditional bottle fermentation (the South African Cap Classique method) to coax fine bubbles and vibrant fruit into its Blanc de Blanc. Because the Chardonnay fruit is harvested early to preserve freshness, and the wine spends time on lees after secondary fermentation, the result is a sparkling wine that feels lively yet refined - expressive of both its terroir and classic méthode techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1684\" data-end=\"1765\"\u003eColour: Pale straw with silvery highlights - fresh and inviting in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1684\" data-end=\"1765\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1767\" data-end=\"1989\"\u003eNose: Energetic citrus zest of lemon, lime and green apple forms the core bouquet, with hints of baked bread and subtle toast from lees contact adding complexity without heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1767\" data-end=\"1989\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1991\" data-end=\"2228\"\u003ePalate: Crisp and dry with lively mousse, this Cap Classique shows vibrant acidity that carries flavours of fresh lemon, green apple and a touch of brioche.
