Weltevrede Philip Jonker Brut Entheos Chardonnay–Pinot Noir
An outstanding Cap Classique, Entheos is a 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir blend. The wine is matured on lees for up to three years, giving it a beautiful lightness with bubbles that dance across the tongue.
Entheos is a lively, vibrant Cap Classique with flavours of creamy biscuit on the palate and long aftertaste. If your mom loves elegant bubblies with more complex flavours, then you can’t go wrong with this delightful CC from Weltevrede.
