Story
Ambeloui is a boutique family run winery tucked away in Hout Bay. They solely produce only high quality Methode Cap Classique Sparkling Wine in the traditional french method. Their bubbly is released annually on the first weekend of November from the farm with a very limited stock. Already this year’s release of Miranda is sold out in South Africa.
The family, of Greek decent, is involved in Ambeloui with Miranda, of whom this wine is named after, running the cellar.
Tasting Notes
Pair this bubbly with “Gloria, mio Dio” from Jacopo Peri’s Euridice. The opera is based on Greek mythology and is the oldest surviving opera known to date. The aria, sung by Euridice, is joyful and celebratory as she rejoices in her return to life after being resurrected by Orpheus. The upbeat and vibrant nature of this aria, full of hope and bliss, pairs wonderfully with a subtle, fruity bubbly, matching its lightness and effervescence with Euridice's joyous expression.
Food Pairing
The subtle fruity flavours pair well with spanokapitas. The freshness of the spinach and the saltiness of the feta will complement the wine's delicate fruitiness, while the flaky pastry adds texture that enhances the wine’s lightness. This pairing brings together vibrant Greek flavours and the refreshing qualities of the bubbly for a delightful experience.
Wine Maker’s Note
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of Vintages, this full-bodied, sparkling wine made in the tradional method matured on the lees for 4 years.
