Saltare MCC Brut Reserve
SLT01NVA / 75cl
Saltare (the e is accentuated: sal-ta-re) is a name given to the Cap Classique’s produced by Carla Pauw. The word means to dance in Latin. An appropriate title for her wines, given that Carla studied movement before completing her studies in viticulture and oenology in 2000. I seem to remember that we first met in the early 2000s when she was the winemaker at Anura in Stellenbosch. The current cuvée is a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, disgorged in March 2024. The base wine is from the 2022 vintage, with around 25% barrel-aged reserve wine. Dosage is 4g/l. 2,500 bottles produced.
