At Colmant we strive to create Cap Classique with balance, elegance and finesse. The Cap Classiques reflect the terroir of our regions showing ripeness and fullness but still retaining freshness and balance. We use exclusively the traditional champagne varietals of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in our production process, more or less in equal proportions. The most crucial part of making a refined bubbly is the blending. It is of the utmost importance for us to select the perfect blending components, each one contributing an extra dimension to the final product. For that reason, we select our grapes from different sites, according to the specific characteristics of each terroir, ensuring that we have enough components to work with to make a base wine with maximum complexity. Both grape types contribute their own specific qualities, without which complete balance and harmony would not be possible. Our Pinot Noir grapes are sourced from versatile origins, coming from five different farms located between Franschhoek, Robertson and Elgin, all of which offer their own distinct desirable characteristics of body and finesse. Chardonnay brings finesse, life, freshness and elegance and its slow development gives an ideal ageing potential. Out of the Chardonnay grapes we use, over 50% are grown by us on Colmant Farm, where the soil provides a perfect balance between full structure and a level of acidity that brings freshness and vivacity. The remainder of our Chardonnay comes from the limestone soils of Robertson and Bonnievale as well as the cooler climate of Elgin and Hemel-en-Aarde.
