VINIFICATION
The grapes used to craft this effervescent wine were handpicked from specially selected Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blocks in the Franschhoek valley. The juice was cold fermented and aged for 6 months before it was sealed in the bottle for the second fermentation process. Maturation on the lees for 5 years took place to develop richness.
STYLE
This bottle fermented blend in equal components of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is aged “sur lie” for 5 years before disgorgement with zero dosage, resulting in a complex, rich leesy sparkling wine with a crisp palate. Notes of baked apples, biscotti, brioche and a hint of pears are supported by the delicate bubbles.
SERVING SUGGESTION
Enjoy this rich and complex sparkling wine with fresh west coast oysters, plump ripe strawberries or to celebrate life.

ANALYSIS
Alc 12.23 %
pH 3.16
RS 7.88 g/l
TA 6.34 g/l
VINIFICATION
Whole bunches are deposited directly in the press and very gently pressed according to the traditional Champagne method. The pale salmon colour is achieved by adding about 2% of specially prepared Pinotage grapes.
The secondary fermentation takes 6 weeks in which the bottle will produce the fine bubbles. The sparkling wine is then matured in contact with the lees for 15 months.
STYLE
Vibrant strawberry flavour bursts forth with lively and delicate bubbles. The richly textured flavours of Pinot Noir combined with the elegant structure of Chardonnay lend complexity. This MCC Rosé is bursting with red berry flavors supported by a long finish.
SERVING SUGGESTION:
Smoked salmon trout, strawberries, sashimi, fruit based desserts and dark chocolate
