Silverthorn The Green Man 75cl
Pop this when the night deserves a proper bottle of bubbles, not just any fizz. It's all fine, twirling bubbles and a green-apple-meets-fresh-brioche thing that makes your first sip feel like an occasion. Crisp, bone-dry, the kind of sparkling that wakes up your whole table. Birthday, big news, or just a Friday you decided to make count. Grab it and let us get it to your door, ice-cold-ready, whatever the hour.
Stick your nose in and you get green apple and ripe citrus first, then that warm bakery note (think freshly baked brioche) with a little roasted-almond whisper and a hint of acacia honey. The bubbles are tiny and persistent, more silk than spritz, so it rolls across your tongue instead of fizzing at it. It finishes proper dry and clean with a chalky, mineral edge that keeps you going back. Elegant, but it doesn't take itself too seriously.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Silverthorn Wines, a small family farm on the banks of the Breede River in Robertson, South Africa, run by winemaker John Loubser (a Diners Club Winemaker of the Year and Cape Winemakers Guild member). The grapes are hand-picked in the cool early morning, gently whole-bunch pressed, and the wine goes through its second fermentation right inside the bottle, the same painstaking method they use in Champagne. It then sits on its lees for over two years to build that creamy, biscuity texture. The name? It nods to the Green Man, an old mythical nature spirit, and the delicate green tint of the Chardonnay itself. The 2004 debut basically reset what South African Blanc de Blancs could be.
