Pinot Noir 52%, Chardonnay 48% (Franschhoek, Robertson, Elgin, Somerset-West and Stellenbosch). 10% of the blend is reserve wine from the previous vintage and 12% of the base wine is barrel fermented.
Tasting notes:
'The Brut Reserve (disgorged April 2018) was 10% fermented in French oak barrel and includes 20% reserve vintages. It spent 30 months on the lees. The well-defined, focused nose features bright citrus lemon and hints of baked bread. The palate is well balanced with a taut, crisp, citric entry. This is vivacious, very pretty and graced with lovely apricot hints on the finish. A superb MCC from Colmant.' – Neal Martin Report 2018, 91/100
'A subtle pale gold colour with a very clean and elegant nose. The aroma has a gentle, spicy toastiness with a lemon / yeasty perfume followed by more mature fruit. Plenty of freshness on the palate, with a good acidity which perfectly balances the yeasty depth, bready flavours and ample structure. Long, smooth finish. Will develop nicely over the years.' – Wine Advocate, 92/100
