Lomond Blanc de Blanc 2020
Cap Classique
Description
Lomond Wine Estate sits on the southern Agulhas Plain near the meeting of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, where cool coastal breezes and mineral-rich soils produce grapes with bright natural acidity - perfect for traditional method sparkling wine. Their Blanc de Blancs 2020 is crafted using classic Méthode Cap-Classique (sparkling wine made using the Champagne method), spending a minimum of 24 months on the lees to build fine mousse, creamy texture and nuanced complexity. This is a wine rooted in site expression, with a focus on purity of Chardonnay fruit, vibrant acidity and a refined finish that reflects both Lomond’s meticulous winemaking and its coastal terroir.
Colour:
Bright, pale straw with a lingering stream of fine bubbles - lively and inviting.
Nose:
Elegant aromatics of crisp white orchard fruit and citrus blossom are interwoven with delicate almond, subtle biscuit and chalky mineral nuances.
Palate:
On the palate, this Blanc de Blancs delivers vibrant lemon and green apple flavours framed by a creamy texture from lees ageing. The fine, persistent bead brings freshness and energy while savoury brioche hints add complexity without heaviness.
Finish:
The finish is long and poised, with citrus brightness and gentle toast-like notes that leave a refreshing yet layered impression.

Lomond Blanc de Blanc 2020
- Food Pairing : Lomond Blanc de Blancs 2020 makes a brilliant partner to fresh, refined fare where its crisp acidity and fine bubbles can shine. Serve it with oysters or fresh prawns with lemon zest, where sea-fresh salinity and citrus snap echo the wine’s bright character. It’s also superb alongside smoked trout or goat’s cheese tart, as the citrus and brioche notes cut through richness and cleanse the palate. For a celebratory finish, pair with lemon posset or almond nougatine, where the wine’s subtle texture and length enhance lingering flavours.
- Drink before: Drink now–2026 (best enjoyed while youthful mousse and freshness are lively, though the 24 + months lees ageing gives added complexity).
