Nederburg Cuvée Brut 75cl
★★★★ 4.0 (1 review)You don't need a wedding for this one. Nederburg Cuvée Brut is South Africa's everyday bubbly, dry and zippy, with a rush of pineapple and lime that wakes your whole mouth up. Cold bottle, two glasses, a Friday that suddenly feels like a plan. It's celebratory without the price tag making you nervous, which is exactly why it's such a crowd-pleaser. Say the word and we'll have it at your door, chilled-and-ready energy, whatever the hour.
First sniff is all tropical fruit, ripe pineapple and pear with a squeeze of lime cutting through. The bubbles are fine and persistent, so it feels lively rather than aggressive on the tongue. It's a proper brut, meaning dry, not sweet, so the fruit comes through fresh and the finish lands crisp with a little tangy lime bite that keeps you coming back. Light, bright, and very easy to pour a second glass of.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Nederburg is one of South Africa's most famous wine names, based in Paarl in the Western Cape, where the farm has been making wine since 1791. This Cuvée Brut is their accessible sparkling, built mostly from Chenin Blanc (the Cape's signature white grape) with a dash of Sauvignon Blanc for extra zip. It's rested on its lees, the spent yeast, for a couple of months before the final blend, which is part of what gives it that rounder, fruitier character. A serious winery making an unserious, fun bottle.
