Sparkling Brut
Sparkling Brut is one of the most popular sparkling wine styles worldwide, recognised for its crisp, dry character. The word “Brut” refers to the level of sweetness: with less than 12g of residual sugar per litre, Brut wines are refreshingly dry while still maintaining balance and finesse.
Brut sparkling wines can be made from a variety of grapes depending on the region. In Champagne, it’s typically a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. In Prosecco, Glera dominates, while in England, classic varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot are used to produce world-class Brut styles.
In the glass, expect lively bubbles, bright acidity, and flavours of green apple, citrus, pear, and brioche, sometimes complemented by nutty or toasty notes if aged on the lees.
For UK drinkers, Sparkling Brut is a versatile choice—perfect for celebrations or paired with seafood, smoked salmon, chicken, sushi, or creamy cheeses.
Anthonij Rupert Wyne L’Ormarins MCC Brut NV (6 Bottles) Western Cape, South Africa
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Anthonij Rupert Wyne was founded on the farm, L’Ormarins in Franschhoek. Originally owned by the late Anthonij Rupert, who passed away in 2001, the farm was eventually taken over by his brother Johann Rupert in 2003 and the brand named after him. It was Johann Rupert who constructed a state-of-theart winemaking facility, catapulting the farm into a prestigious wine estate. The focus is on terroir specific wines and therefore it would seem obvious that the brand is made up of an impressive portfolio of farms representing the best in grape producing locations. The portfolio is made up of L’Ormarins from Franschhoek, Rooderust from Darling, Riebeeksrivier from the Swartland and Altima from isolated Elandskloof. Each site offers optimum varietal specific growing conditions, allowing Anthonij Rupert Wyne to adhere to the requirements of their different brands.
A lively stream of fine bubbles lifts aromas of sherbet and lemon cream biscuits on the nose. On the palate, it is vibrant, fresh, and crisp, with the bright citrus flavours hinted at on the nose immediately coming through. Tangy lime and grapefruit are complemented by a marmalade twist, while subtle notes of apple and toast add complexity and depth. The wine is beautifully balanced, elegant, and composed, finishing with a smooth, dry conclusion.
