Add a sparkle to your eye with our limited-edition Spier R.D Brut. With only the very best selection of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes hand-harvested from cooler coastal vineyards, this Cap Classique is infinitely light and refreshing. As an older 2013 vintage, ‘R.D’ stands for ‘Recently Disgorged’. This is because the bottle-fermented sparkling wine spent a remarkable 84 months on the lees, adding sought-after complexity and brioche flavours. The result is a crisp and beautifully balanced Cap Classique that is excellent on its own or served with fresh Atlantic oysters.
