MCC Brut

Citrus cheesecake.

The Chardonnay grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards in the Robertson region of South Africa. The area's limestone-rich soils and cool climate contribute to the grapes' balanced acidity and fresh fruit character, essential for producing high-quality sparkling wines.

Secondary fermentation occurred in the bottle and the wine spent a minimum of 44 months on the lees after which it was manually riddled and degorged.

Crate by crate the whole bunches were passed into the press with a very low recovery rate of only 420 litres per ton. Fermentation took place in a stainless steel tank at 14 degrees Celsius.
