How absolutely gorgeous are these bottles. @SimonsigWines are celebrating 50 years of producing MCC in SA with the launch of 2 x new bubblies; the Kaapse Vonkel Satin Nectar & the Satin Nectar. #FunFact: Most expensive wine in South Africa in 1971 @R3 a bottle,current price R165.
Wishing all wineries a brilliant and successful 2021 harvest!! May the grape gods shine on you and deliver an exceptional fruit for what we all hope will be a positive year 🙌🏼🍇
Look what arrived today. Another of my favourite Cap Classiques sparkling wines from South Africa and @ColmantWine where Paul Gerber is doing a great job now!
Wishing all grape enthusiasts a wonderful 2021!
May this year be the year of South African Bubbly in its 50th celebration.
It deserves a year to shine, so let us open it, celebrate it, and drink it with happiness and gratitude!
Unfortunately not drinking @SimonsigWines Kaapse Vonkel Brut MCC to celebrate Johan Malan’s @DinersClub Award, but instead I’m sipping on a lovely white Rhone blend, Die Kluisenaar 2016 from their superb Grapesmith range. 🥂🍾
Huge congratulations to all the @wineonaplatter winners!!!
Particularly all those #capclassiques that received 5 stars and rightfully being given the recognition they so deserve. If ever there was a time to pop a bottle, it’s now 👏🏼🍾

Good luck all! All deserve to be up there. Keep producing what we so love to drink and be part of both in SA and in the UK. We appreciate you and your passion towards Cap Classique and all it stands for 👏

Not that I need an excuse on Fine Wine Friday... but apparently it’s International Drink Champagne Day!? So we cracked two of the best including @LVMH Dom Perignon 2010 and the delicious new @SimonsigWines Cuvee Royale Brut 2014! 😘🥂🍾 @HandfordWines@CapClassiqueUK

Toasting the last of the day on #capclassiqueday with our Marion MCC, named for co-owner Marion, a #biodynamic MCC that spends five years maturing before release.

Whoop!
It's #CapClassiqueDay... I'll be celebrating a bit later with my @SteenbergWines Pinot Noir Brut MCC.
@ElundaBasson, Steenberg's cellarmaster, will be showing us how to sabrage live on Instagram at 6pm!
So get your bottles ready 🍾
What are you drinking today?!
