In 2015 the Grier family of Villiera decided to create something special for release in 2024 to celebrate 40 years of producing Cap Classique. PITHOS was the result. They had already identified their best block of Chardonnay and, at the pressing stage, only the purest, first portion of the juice to run off was used. It was fermented in a large locally made clay container, called a “Pithos”. It was bottled in an iconic bottle and matured on the lees after the 2nd fermentation for an extended period.
Rich, creamy, yeasty nose, with a refreshing flavour on the middle palate developing finesse and complexity on the aftertaste. Powerful and rich to drink now, but it will still continue to improve for up to 3 years.
Available in a Single Bottle gift box or a 3 x 750ml Case packed in 3 Single Bottle gift boxes.
This wine is not available as part of a custom mixed case.
There are no delivery charges for Pithos.
