Home of Pierre Jourdan and Haute Cabrière wines, the beautiful Cabrière Estate, situated on the banks of the Franschhoek river, was granted to the French Huguenot refugee farmer Pierre Jourdan on the 22 December 1694. Owner Achim von Arnim's decades old belief is that the wine is grown, not made. The essence of his philosophy is proclaimed on a pillar carrying a sundial in the vineyards: 'Sun, Soil, Vine, Man'.
Tasting notes:
Cuvee Belle Rose has the faintest tinge of salmon pink coloring, a lively presentation of Pinot Noir flavours, a pleasing fine mousse and reveals an elegant dry finish.
An ideal complement to mussels, crayfish, prawns as well as duck in winter.

This rose sparkling wine surprised us, since we know nothing about S. African wines. It has very small bubbles, refreshing, crisp and clean, and at about half the cost of its closest champagne rival. If you like champagne, you won't be disappointed by this choice.
