Unparalleled finesse and depth, where vibrant notes of orchard fruits dance atop a backdrop of toasty brioche and subtle minerality.
About the wine
The philosophy behind Genevieve MCC is one of vigilant attention and careful consideration in the vineyard, coupled with minimal but precise intervention in the cellar. This approach allows each vintage to express itself authentically from grape to bottle. Whole bunch pressing is employed to ensure the extraction of high-quality juice. The wine then spends four years in contact with yeast before disgorgement, enhancing its complexity and depth.
Tasting notes
Genevieve MCC Blanc de Blanc presents with delicate and generous bubbles that offer a crisp, aromatic complexity of citrus blossom and white fruit. It greets the palate with a vibrant entry, leading into a delicate yet concentrated structure. The wine is characterized by overall balanced finesse, complemented by an appealing acidity that provides a long, attractive crystalline finish.
About the winemaker
Genevieve MCC was inspired by the creator’s passion for good quality Méthode Cap Classique. Founder, Melissa Genevieve Nelsen, pursued her passion into the winemaking industry to develop the beautiful Blanc de Blancs MCC we know today.
The search for the perfect terroir and quality grapes led Melissa to Bot River, and there she discovered a beautiful pocket of Chardonnay, located in the Van der Stel Pass. Determined from the outset to make a sparkling wine of unsurpassed quality, and to continue to do so each year, Melissa’s original vision soon became a well-received reality.
