Morgenster
Under the foothills of the majestic Helderberg Mountain in Somerset West, lies Morgenster Estate. Home to award-winning Bordeaux-style wines, small pockets of Italian varieties, and extra virgin olive oils. A pioneering South African estate meticulously cultivated by our Italian father, grandfather and founder, Giulio Bertrand. Where African soil meets Italian flair. His vigour and passion have inspired us to keep innovating with renewed energy and to push Morgenster into a brand-new era of excellence. Sustainably-focused, world-class, remarkable wines and extra-virgin olive oils. Our Estate, it’s part of us. The Bertrand Family
Description
Colour: Yellow white, with a green tinge. Nose: Fruit aplenty with biscuit and yeast coming to the fore. Beautiful minerality and river stone neutrality. Palate: Soft lingering mousse with a very fine persistent bubble. There is great expression of Cabernet Franc fruit in a sweeter style even though no dosage was added. Fullness and an impressive length of stay on the palate with good wood integration.
Food Pairing
Pair with oysters, or strawberry tartlets and cheeses.
