As the festive season approaches and we prepare to take a break , spend time with family and to celebrate, lets make sure we have the right ingredients to make these occasions memorable.
This week’s recommendation to get things going in style is a very special sparkling wine because what would a celebration be without some fine bubbly?
Gold Award
The Matriarch is a product of the Nitida Cellars in Durbanville and was the recipient of a Gold Award in the Cap Classique Challenge in 2023 as well as receiving four-star ratings from Platter’s in 2023 as well as 2024.
This is a Cap Classique sparkling wine, meaning that it is made in the traditional Méthod Champenoise style, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle under crown cap, resulting in finer bubbles that add elegance to the overall tasting experience.
Expect childhood memories of Grandma’s cinnamon apple strudel and custard pastries in a kitchen filled with familiar smells when you have your first sip. The rich, full and luxurious flavours rest easy on the palate and are reminiscent of the fire in that kitchen’s big hearth.
Bubbly For Breakfast
If you are on holiday there is no reason why you shouldn’t sip some bubbly for breakfast! The Matriarch is especially good when served with a buttery croissant, topped with lightly smoked salmon, or perfectly poached Eggs Benedict.
The blend of Pinot Noir (50%) and Chardonnay (50%) was bottled in 2022 and has a pH value of 3.33, meaning that it has a lower acidity which is complemented by an average residual sugar content making it a very drinkable delight.
The Matriarch is currently in stock at Super Spar Tops, Village Square St Francis, so make sure you stock up to make those lazy summer days that much more memorable!
