Sprankel means ‘sparkle’ in Afrikaans and this delightful Cap Classique delivers plenty of bubbly enjoyment. Mostly Chardonnay (with 10% Pinot Noir) it spends up to five years on lees, adding silky creaminess to the light and elegant palate. Aromas of ripe peach and apple lure you in: a perfect aperitif. JS
