Jean-Philippe Colmant is originally from Belgium where his job was far away from producing sparkling wine. “My business was importing tomb stones,” he laughs at the mere thought of his previous vocation. “I came to South Africa in 2002 when this property was on just bare land. In 2004 I decided to design and build one of the first wineries that would exclusively produce Méthode Cap Classique. I was inspired by the Champagne model and I wanted to replicate it here. We are quite small and bottle just 50,000 bottles per year and I intend to stick to this limited size.” I ask where he sources his fruit. “The grapes are sourced from ten vineyard sites over three regions: 50% Franschhoek, 30% Elgin and 20% Robertson, just Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. My big philosophy is towards blending and only Non-Vintage wines. I am a strong believer in Reserve wine and I have never made a vintage.” Asking about the style he seeks he replies: “I like a precise and clean style. Lanson was a model when I started, even though now they do malolactic whereas I want to preserve natural acidity.”
