Villiera Tradition Brut Half

Villiera Wines, Villiera Tradition Brut Half

All of Viliera Wines' sparkling wines undergo secondary fermentation in the bottle, and the bottle stirring (the process of collecting the sediment at the neck of the bottle) is also done by hand. The traditional, full-bodied, yeasty aroma gives it a complex and balanced taste that is unique to the orthodox. It has a refreshing acidity and rich fruitiness, and a lively, sparkling flavor. Served in South African Airways First/Business Class in 2015.
