Legend has it that the smoke from Jan Van Hunks' pipe (a legendary South African figure) created ‘The Tablecloth’, a the local term for the blanket of fog (like Karl the Fog in San Francisco) that rolls in from the sea covering Table Mountain and Cape Town. 

Van Hunks method champenoise sparkling wine (or "Cap Classique" the official South African name for sparkling wine) is made by 14th-generation sparkling winemaker Matthew Krone who has been making sparkling wine his entire life, even before he was legally allowed to drink. 

A richly textured blend of 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir sourced entirely from Stellenbosch and aged on the lees for 36 months. During this time, yeast autolysis creates a rich texture and toasty flavors that define the wine’s complexity. With notes of golden apple, honeysuckle, toasted brioche, pistachio, and almond notes. The extended lees aging adds creamy mouthfeel and lasting complexity.
