Brut MCC 2022

The vineyard blocks were planted wide (2,5m x 1.4m) in 1991 & 2001 on medium potential soils namely Tukulu & Kroonstad. A seven-wire Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) trellis system & drip irrigation were implemented. Annual production varies between 8 to 10 tons per hectare.

Handpicked grapes were transported to the cellar for immediate processing. Very light whole bunch pressing of the grapes ensured for optimal flavour extraction & minimal colour & phenol extraction. The juice was left to settle for 24 hours & racked to stainless steel tanks. Cold alcoholic fermentation of 2-3 weeks ensured the preservation of the wine’s delicate fruit aromas and freshness. Tirage/bottle fermentation followed. The wine was aged on lees in the bottle for 12 months before disgorgement. 1st disgorgement of 2022 bottling.

Fresh rose petals and orange blossom notes lead to fresh fruit nuances of strawberries, cranberries, nectarines and lemons. The mousse is fine with mineral texture and a creamy brioche core. Finishes with juicy freshness and finesse.

The wine pairs well with all seafood. It is also the perfect accompaniment to enjoy at any celebration.
