The bottled wine lay for a further 47 months ‘sur latte’, which is the state between tirage and final disgorgement, or corking of the wine.

The Pinot Noir component, fermented and lees matured in stainless steel tank comprises of the majority of the blend, contributing 42%. This is the core of the wine and adds acidity and delicate red fruit flavours. 33% of the blend is made up of Chardonnay, barrel fermented in neutral 500L French oak barrels and lees matured for 9 months before preparation for tirage. This is a full-bodied component and provides richness and depth to the wine. The Pinot Meunier makes up a slightly smaller component of the blend this vintage with 25%. It too was barrel fermented and matured for 9 months before tirage. In our view, this Pinot Meunier component lends a certain opulence to the blend that sets the Mulderbosch Cap Classique apart from many others. Tirage, the process of creating the bubbles through a secondary bottle fermentation, took place on 11 January 2019.
