50 Years Méthode Cap Classique

Tasting

Tasting from 28.05.2021

It was in 1971 that South Africa's first ever traditional method sparkling wine was made at the Simonsig winery. Since then, Méthode Cap Classique has made immense strides. On the 50th anniversary of this style, Falstaff tasted an effervescent and stunning selection of wines.
