Rickety Bridge launches "Tasting Room in the Vines" and their maiden Cap Classique

Published: 11 Jan 12
 

Rickety Bridge - the picturesque Franschhoek wine and lifestyle estate - has launched their new ‘Tasting Room in the Vines’ and their maiden Cap Classique, the Rickety Bridge Brut Rosé 2010.

RICKETY BRIDGE TASTING ROOM IN THE VINES

The new Rickety Bridge Tasting Room in the Vines is a ‘must visit’ this summer.

The tasting room, housed on an elevated platform with a three-sided full-height glazed façade, offers dramatic views of the vineyards with the majestic Franschhoek Mountains in the background. The rustic charm of the old Rickety Bridge tasting room has been retained, but is now infused with a monochromatic contemporary design. The tasting room virtually spills over, through massive glass walls, into the cellar, affording guests a clear view of a working winery.

The ‘big hit’ this summer will no doubt be Rickety Bridge’s floating terraces in the vineyards, where wine-lovers can taste Rickety Bridge wines, entirely surrounded by vines.

RICKETY BRIDGE BRUT ROSÉ 2010

“We are very excited about the launch of our maiden vintage Cap Classique”, says a delighted Wynand Grobler, winemaker at Rickety Bridge. “Being in the MCC capital of South Africa, we are very pleased to release yet another world-class W.O. Franschhoek bubbly. Our new release, a classic blend of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir, captures in a bottle, the lively, stylish elegance which is Rickety Bridge.”

Tasting Notes:
This gorgeous, enticing pale salmon pink Brut Rosé displays delicate citrus notes and hints of red berries on the nose. On the palate, a crisp freshness combines seamlessly with a classic richness. The fine continuous mousse kisses the palate and lifts the wine to a long elegant finish.

Food Pairing:
Delightful on its own, ideal for any occasion and perfectly paired with fresh oysters, shellfish-especially steamed crayfish and salmon, as well as sushi and duck.
