Blanc de Blanc – Sparkling Freshness in Every Sip
Namaqua Blanc de Blanc is a sparkling wine that brings elegance and effervescence to any occasion. Originating from the Champagne region in France, the term “Blanc de Blanc” translates to “white from whites,” referring to wines made exclusively from white grapes, typically Chardonnay. This style has since been embraced worldwide, including in South Africa, where Namaqua crafts its own version.
Taste and Aroma
Blanc de Blanc is known for its dry palate, offering a rich, crisp, and creamy texture complemented by lively acidity and exceptional minerality. The fine bubbles add softness and lushness to the mouthfeel. Namaqua’s Blanc de Blanc features fresh tropical fruit aromas with hints of citrus and guava, delivering a refreshing and vibrant experience.
Food and Cheese Pairings
This sparkling wine pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Seafood lovers can enjoy it with oysters, crayfish, crab cakes, seabass, and sole piccata. It also complements salads, cream-based pasta, and chicken dishes. For cheese pairings, consider soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert. The balancing of flavours with Blanc de Blanc’s fruity aromas is enhanced by the salty and sharp notes of aged Parmesan.
