Pop the Cork on the Season
Three traditional-method sparkling wines, two of them single-variety C3 sparkling wines, in one allocation made for celebrating.
Some bottles are for Tuesday night. These are for the moments that matter. Our November Sparkling Allocation brings you three Méthode Cap Classique sparkling wines from South Africa's Western Cape, crafted bottle by bottle in the same painstaking tradition as Champagne. Leading the lineup is C3: two small-production sparkling wines, each made from a single grape, that you won't find anywhere else.
As always, Conservation Circle Members get first access, just in time for every toast between Thanksgiving and New Year's. And every bottle you open helps protect rhinos worldwide.
Introducing C3: Craig & Chesney's Collection
C3 is personal. Our Director of Wine, David Bradbury, created these two sparkling wines to honor Craig and Chesney and their dedicated work on behalf of rhino conservation. They're the people whose vision made Rhinory possible.
Both C3 wines come from Stellenbosch fruit picked early to keep them bright and fresh. Each one goes through its second fermentation in the very bottle you'll open, then rests on its lees for many months, or in the Rosé's case three full years, before release. That patience is what gives them their fine, creamy bubbles and their bakery-shop complexity. Production is extremely limited, and once these bottles are gone, they're gone.
2023 Keras Collection C3 Sparkling Pinotage Rosé
The rosé that rewrites Pinotage
100% Pinotage · Stellenbosch · Brut · 3 years on the lees
Pinotage is South Africa's signature grape, and you've never tasted it like this. It opens with pink grapefruit, pomegranate and fresh croissant. A creamy mousse and crisp acidity carry quince, wild raspberry and a refreshing hint of sea spray into a focused finish that recalls freshly baked gingerbread. Many of you got a sneak peek at our September Member Bash. Now it's yours to take home.
Pair with: Sashimi · Herb-and-lemon roast chicken · Raspberry tart
2023 Keras Collection C3 Blanc de Noir
White from black, pure elegance
100% Pinot Noir · Stellenbosch · Brut · 21 months on the lees
Blanc de Noir means "white from black." The dark-skinned Pinot Noir is hand-harvested at dawn and pressed so gently that only its pale juice remains. White raspberry, hibiscus, pomegranate and Surinam cherry lead into a luxurious note of almond pastry cream. Fine bubbles and bright acidity bring a dry, focused finish that lingers. This is the most limited release of the season.
Pair with: Lobster salad with citrus · Fried shrimp · Almond croissant
Serve: Well chilled, 43–46°F
NV Keras Collection Wijde Méthode Cap Classique
The one you keep asking for
53% Chardonnay · 46% Pinot Noir · 1% Pinot Meunier · Western Cape · Brut
If you've already fallen for Wijde, you know why it belongs in this lineup. Chardonnay from Robertson's limestone soils brings precision, and cool-climate False Bay Pinot Noir adds depth. On the nose it's a Parisian bakery at dawn: toasted baguette, almond and warm pastry, then Meyer lemon, yellow apple and chamomile. On the palate come pear, parmesan rind and chalky minerality, and the long finish tastes of butter shortbread.
Pair with: Goat cheese tart · White truffle risotto · Fried chicken
