The 2010 Klein Optenhorst Brut Rosé Cap Classique
Dear Friends, Garden Lovers and Wine Enthusiasts
The 2010 Klein Optenhorst Brut Rosé Cap Classique is finally labelled and ready for sale.
For those who have visited Klein Optenhorst, the sparkling wineis made from the 0.25ha Pinot Noir vineyard situated on either side of the driveway. The vines were planted by Naas and Jenny in 1990 and the 2010 vintage was such that we were able to make just 988 bottles.
The wine is made by sparkling wine genius Pieter “Bubbles” Ferreira at the Graham Beck cellar in Robertson. It is available at R150 per bottle including VAT. Delivery can be arranged.
Please order via return email.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Jenny, Naas and Jane
