Cap Classique is an art, and by infusing the poetic beauty of art and Champagne, we at Rhebokskloof want to evoke feelings of joy and awe. Fhatuwani Mukheli’s story tells like beautiful wine. Deeply rooted in South Africa’s creative culture, this man of many talents pours out a magical moment of expression through this graceful and elusive collaboration from Soweto to Rhebokskloof.

We could not have been more pleased to have this visionary artist do our first commissioned piece for the Rhebokskloof Cap Classique 2016 label. The vibrant pink and blue colours in the art piece bring about happiness and a lust for life, and then when your eyes fall upon the musician, a sense of something deep arises within one’s soul. As if you know you have to sit back, listen and take note of something special. The piece represents our 2016 vintage so exceptionally well; the persistent bubble flutters on one’s tongue, then the layered notes of honey and toasted brioche set in, leaving you with a feeling of awe and wanting more of this exquisite creation.

Set to be the first in a series of future collaborations, only a limited quantity of this first set is available.
