The Story: Van Hunks story begins with a bold mission to disrupt a tired sparkling wine category with energy and intrigue. This vision was brought to life in partnership with 12th-generation winemaker Matthew Krone, a master of bottle-fermented sparkling wines with 300 years of family heritage. The journey is also rooted in a deep commitment to sustainability, partnering with a Stellenbosch farm that focuses on pesticide-free growing and water conservation. For Matthew, every wine is a great responsibility, and this Cap Classique is a perfect expression of his passion, marrying his family’s rich winemaking tradition with the brand’s modern ethos to create a bold, high-quality sparkling wine.

Personality: An energetic and bold charmer, with a creamy, rich texture and fine bubbles. This dry, luxurious celebration is full of toasted brioche, golden apple, and nutty complexity.

Harmony: For an elegant start to any meal, try it with fresh oysters or smoked salmon. Its creamy texture and nutty notes also make it a perfect match for a buttery risotto or a charcuterie board with toasted pistachios.
