Why You'll Love It
This is excellent value for mature, traditional-method sparkling rosé. Bright red berries meet a gently savoury, bready richness from lengthy time on lees, with a fine mousse and enough fresh acidity to keep it lively. A brilliant match for seafood and a lovely alternative to Champagne.
About The Producer
Jacques Bruére is the traditional-method sparkling-wine range made at Bon Courage, the family-owned estate on the Breede River near Robertson in South Africa. The Bruwer family has farmed here for generations, drawing on limestone-rich soils, warm days and cool nights in the shadow of the Langeberg Mountains. The range takes its name from the family's French Huguenot roots and is devoted to Cap Classique, South Africa's bottle-fermented answer to Champagne. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir provide the structure, while extended bottle ageing on lees adds the rich, toasty and gently savoury flavours that distinguish these wines. The result is sparkling wine of serious ambition and excellent value, with a long maturation period seldom found at this price.
Winemaking Information
The 2018 Jacques Bruére Cuvée Rosé Brut is a traditional-method Cap Classique from the Bon Courage estate in Robertson, made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Base wines undergo a second fermentation in bottle and extended maturation on yeast lees before disgorgement, building the wine's nutty, toasty complexity. The published 2018 bottling is 11% ABV in the existing catalogue, although other merchant listings show 11.5%; check the label if an exact release-specific figure is required.
