What is the labelling term used in South Africa for traditional method sparkling wine?

In South Africa, the term used for traditional method sparkling wine is Cap Classique. This designation specifically refers to sparkling wines made using the méthode champenoise, where the secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle, producing natural carbonation. The Cap Classique name underscores South Africa's unique approach to sparkling winemaking, separating it from the traditional terms used in other countries like France.

The term is rooted in the country's wine heritage and showcases its commitment to quality and traditional wine production methods. Wines labeled as Cap Classique must adhere to specific requirements, including the use of approved grape varieties and a minimum aging period on the lees, which contributes to the flavor and complexity of the wine.

The other terms mentioned do not accurately represent South African sparkling wines; they either belong to other wine regions or indicate particular styles or qualities that are not specific to traditional method wines from South Africa.
