		<description><![CDATA[Like bubbles rising in a flute, Cap Classique is on the ascent. Here are the latest trends and why South Africans are loving it so much. Not too long ago, we knew it as Methode Cap Classique, but after a strategic name update to strengthen its positioning and ease of recall, the Cap Classique category was reborn and has emerged stronger than ever. While many of us use terms like bubbly, Champagne, MCC and sparkling wine interchangeably, Cap Classique is not to be confused with the rest. Typically, sparkling wine is carbonated using a gassy production method not too far removed from a household SodaStream. What distinguishes Cap Classique is the careful process of fermentation in the bottle and the long period of time needed – usually a minimum of 12 months – for naturally occurring bubbles to form. Krone Caroline van Schalkwyk, Marketing Manager for the Cap Classique Association, stresses the element of time in the making of fine South African Cap Classique: ‘It’s an important differentiator because it recognises the additional investment producers make in the pursuit of higher quality,’ she says. In short, it takes a lot more work and technical ability to produce a Cap Classique, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When cellarmaster of Krone Cap Classique, Rudiger Gretschel, returned home from a trip to France he was inspired by the grower champagne movement. “We set out to make site specific Cap Classique a first for South Africa,” shares Gretschel.  ‘It had to be Blanc de Blancs. We knew we could express the terroir better with chardonnay than any other grape.’ In 2016 Krone released South Africa’s first site specific Cap Classique: the Krone Kaaimansgat Blanc de Blancs 2016. Sculpted from one of the Cape’s oldest chardonnay vineyards; a rocky site hidden deep inside a blind valley in the Elandskloof. At an altitude of 700 metres above sea level this distinct site experiences extreme weather conditions and high diurnal swings providing the ideal climate for quality grapes. In the years since this landmark offering, Krone has embarked on a pioneering series exploring the most outstanding sites for Cap Classique in the Cape. The Krone’s Site Specific Series carves a sense of place from three remarkable sites. The Kaaimansgat Site Specific Blanc de Blancs 2020; the Koelfontein Site Specific Blanc de Blancs 2020, from the soaring peaks of the Ceres Plateau; and the Twee Jonge Gezellen Site Specific Blanc de Blancs 2020, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Krone’s newly released site-specific vintage is part of a pioneering series that explores the most outstanding sites for Cap Classique. In 2016 Krone released South Africa’s first site-specific Cap Classique to further underscore its commitment to making vintage-only bottle-fermented sparkling wines. A pure expression of mountain-born chardonnay, the Krone Kaaimansgat Blanc de Blancs 2016 hailed from the iconic Kaaimansgat vineyard near Villiersdorp. The newly released 2018 vintage also springs from this high-altitude blind valley, situated 700-metres above sea level. “Producing a vintage wine from a single vineyard is the purest expression of transparency and authenticity. It is an exercise in courage and passion, leaving no place to hide as the quality of the grapes and the skill of the winemaker are in full view,” says Rudiger Gretschel, Krone’s cellarmaster. “Kaaimansgat is a site of extremes. The old, unirrigated vines are planted on the steep foothills of the mountains. In winter the mountains encircling the vineyards are covered in snow, in summer the day temperatures are warm and sunny, the nights cool to cold &#8211;  ideal conditions for later ripening of the grapes, producing wines with a strong acidity at full ripeness and low pH, perfect for making superlative Cap Classique,” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Africa has long fused the worlds of spirituality, ancestry and creativity to aid communication with the non-material, divine realm. These practices continue to this day despite colonial incursions and the influence of modern western modes. This rich seam of history and culture is mined by today’s African artists. Their work both affirms and interrogates the traditions and heritage within which they situate themselves, and in so doing, they evolve contemporary art on the Continent. There are seven noteworthy young artists whose work is in this vein, who are currently showing pieces as part of the Tulbagh-based show of 40 young artists, 40 under 40: Asemahle Ntlonti, Sahlah Davids, Ofentse ‘King Debs’ Letebele, Sepideh Mehraban, Buhlebezwe Siwani, Scott Eric Williams and Stephane Edith Conradie. Just one hour and 30 minutes’ drive from Cape Town, you’ll find the historic Twee Jonge Gezellen Estate, the home of Krone Cap Classique, where 40 under 40 is located. The exhibition, which is presented by KRONE X WHATIFTHEWORLD gallery, runs until 28 February 2022. One of the hottest cultural events on the summer arts calendar, 40 under 40 invites visitors to commune with the ancestors, and contemplate past and present, as they wander through the beautiful [...]]]></description>
