Lock, stock and wine barrel: Sparkling wines for Valentine’s Day

A classic méthode cap classique is a sure way to impress during any romantic occasion.


Nothing says celebration like sparkling wine. Here are the four wines you should consider – they also make great gifts – to make this Valentine’s Day a little more special.

Da Luca Sparkling Rose

Pink, delicious served cold and also a great cocktail base. This dainty Prossecco is a fantastic Valentine’s partner and at R89 a bottle, it can make the day special on a tight budget.

Pierre Jourdan Belle Rose

A great blush wine with hints of Pinot Noir makes this dry wine a wonderful occasion drink. It’s also available for R135, making it a loving gesture.

Allee Bleue Brut Rose 2014

A classic méthode cap classique (MCC) is a sure way to impress during any romantic occasion. This MCC, known as memories in a bottle, is a delicate affair with hits of berries, rose and candyfloss. It pairs great with fish amn sushi. Get yours for R149.

Plaisir De Merle Grand Brut 2016

The elegant and classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay features everything you love about MCC. Yeasty notes, lemon, apple and a daring sparkle. Get it from R230.

Tokara 2011

This 100% Chardonnay owes its elegance and finesse to the more than four years the wine matured on the lees. It’s a complex MCC with incredible effervescence and flavour. At R650, it’s also a wine that shows you care.
