Brut MCC

Pair this wine with luxury foods like oysters from the Garden Route, fine and fresh trout or even spicy Cape Malay dishes from the Bokaap.

The grapes are grown in rich limestone soils with vines all between 10 and 15 years old. Careful canopy management ensured that only the best bunches were left to ripen, ensuring beautiful fruit expression and utmost quality. Vines received supplementary irrigation based on hydrometer readings.

The wine spent 12 months on the lees in the bottle before it was riddled and degorged.

Chardonnay grapes were hand picked in the cool of the early morning. The grapes were whole-bunch pressed to ensure a very elegant wine, where after the juice settled before racking and inoculation. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the base wine was filtered and bottled with tirage for the second fermentation to commence in the bottle in the true Méthod Cap Classique manner.

Vineyards have been shown to possess unique fingerprints in centuries gone by. Every block of vines expresses distinctive characteristics, and the finest winemakers know that viticulture starts in the soil. In 2010 our winemaker began travelling in search of the purest fruit from first growth appellations across the wine regions of the Western Cape. Every new vintage becomes a quest to find the different components to make up the perfect blend that meets the winemaker’s requirements. The pursuit of excellence began in 2011 when Quest aspired to showcase a premium range of iconic French blends, styles and varieties grown and expressed through South African soils.
