Vintage Cuvée

A wine to enjoy before a meal or between courses to replace the cut of a sorbet or even with a lemon tart to follow. A premium product (the packaging alone tells you nothing has been compromised on here) for special occasions.

The grapes for the GM&Ahrens MCC are harvested from thirteen different “wine pockets”, from all over the Western Cape area.

Only the first cuvee makes it to the barrels where it spends twelve months fermenting and maturing, where after it is transferred to the underground cellar in Franschhoek for second fermentation and further maturation for another four / five years.

The grapes are carefully handpicked and lightly pressed in a basket press.

In 1835 a young man called Manuel María González Angel arrived in Jerez intent on making a name for himself in the thriving and lucrative sherry business. Encouraged by the consistent growth in exports that same year he purchased a small winery and began to produce and export his own wines. This was the start of Bodegas Tío Pepe which due to the firm’s increasing success became the González Byass company soon afterwards. Today Bodegas Tío Pepe is known around the world as one of the leading producers of sherry and Brandy de Jerez.
