Charles Fox Cap Classique Wine Estate

Charles Fox Cap Classique Wine Estate is a wine estates in South Africa that specialises in the Cap Classique method and is located in Elgin, Western Cape.

Originally a fruit farm planted with apples, pears and plums, Furneaux farm was purchased by Charles and Zelda Fox in 2005 after an inter-regional search for Cap Classique-specific terroir.

In concordance with advice on clone and site selection from viticulturist Paul Wallace, 6.3ha of land was planted to 10 blocks of vines.

Perold-trellised rows were planted in a north-west to south-east direction primarily to minimise wind damage.

The wines are blended by Nicolas Follet, a Riems-based Champagne producer.
