The book traces the history of champagne to South Africas sparkling wine industry, which innovated with Cap Classique forty years ago, being a bottle-fermented bubbly made in the traditional French style. Kaapse Vonkel was made for the first time by pioneer winefarmer Frans Malan at Simonsig in 1971, while Cap Classique wines were made for the first time in 1992. Chairman of the Cap Classique Association, Pieter Bubbles Ferreira of Graham Beck Wines, writes in the introduction to the book that South Africa has the oldest grape growing soils in the world. Combined with its bountiful sunshine, the Western Cape is a perfect location for growing grapes of excellent quality for the production of Cap Classique.
