Description
The sparkling gem in the DeMorgenzon portfolio is this über-fine Method Cap Classique (MCC). Made to the Champagne method where secondary fermentation takes place in bottle, it is created from 100% estate-grown Chenin Blanc grapes. Matured on its lees for 18 months it then receives its dosage (for this component, Carl van der Merwe uses ‘Late Harvest’ style of Chenin Blanc which has been aged in French oak barriques) prior to dégorgement and release onto the market. The 2019 shows honey, white peach and hints of pineapple which are complemented by savoury notes of roasted almond and toasted brioche. A fine mousse and refreshing acidity provides a remarkably refreshing drinking experience.
Alcohol: 12.63% ABV
