The delicate and elegant bubbles stand out.
Dosage: 8g/L

Deep red color with a purplish tinge. Aromas of blueberry, licorice, and cracked pepper with hints of herbs.
The mouthfeel is concentrated and complex, with a pleasant mocha flavor on the finish.

The color is a bright, beautiful yellow with a sense of transparency. The nose is full of delicate floral and varied fruit aromas, with hints of ripe white-fleshed fruit, crème brûlée and roasted hazelnuts.
The taste is elegant and silky. The taste is lively with notes of pear and apricot juice, with a pleasant mineral aftertaste.

KWV, one of South Africa's leading wineries, means ``South African Viticulture Farmers Cooperative'' in Afrikaans, one of the country's 11 official languages.
“Ko-operatieve Wijnbouwers Vereniging van zuid-afrika beperkt”
It was founded in 1918 with its headquarters in Paarl, about 40km northeast of Cape Town, with the aim of stabilizing the wine industry, which was a national policy product for South Africa.

A tribute wine to William Alexander Miller, the man known as Big Bill, who captained the South African rugby team and later served as the first KWV general manager. When you visit KWV's cellar, you will see a huge 22,000L oak barrel named "Big Bill". As grand, rich and lively as the man it's named after, it's a wine that's perfect for any occasion.

Aromas of ripe plums and blueberries are followed by hints of tobacco, mint and herbs.
The complex flavor and well-balanced tannins derived from barrel aging for 8 to 10 months are wonderful, and you can fully enjoy the long and pleasant aftertaste.

Aromas of passion fruit, pineapple, and guava. The palate is soft and lively, with hints of green figs and green apples. The result is a smooth and very balanced wine.
