It was that spirit, together with the delicate green cast of the wine itself, that led John Loubser to abandon the label \"Blanc de Blancs\" and give his Chardonnay Cap Classique a name instead. Silverthorn sits on the Loubser family farm in Robertson, on limestone-rich soils that make this South Africa's natural home for sparkling wine; in 2004 the decision was taken to make nothing else. Hand-harvested in the cool early hours at 19° Balling and whole-bunch pressed at only 500 litres per ton so no bitterness is drawn out, with a small portion barrel-fermented and a long spell on the lees after the second fermentation in bottle. A vibrant green-gold with a fine twirling bead: baked apple, roasted almond and a whiff of minerality, then an elegant, finely moussed palate and a long finish.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Silverthorn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54061917995315,"sku":null,"price":460.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/6936\/1459\/files\/Silverthornthegreenman.png?v=1789124834","url":"https:\/\/openbottle.co.za\/products\/silverthorn-the-green-man-cap-classique","provider":"OPEN BOTTLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
