Extensive time on the lees has encapsulated within it a distinctive ambience establishing a combined delicately elegant, frothy and frivolous MCC.
About the wine
Chardonnay planted on deep riverside soil, oriented east-west along the Bot River Van der Stel Pass, with the first harvest from an additional old Chardonnay block closer to Bot River.
Tasting notes
This wine opens with an inviting nose of ripe citrus, apple blossom, and subtle hints of vanilla, enhanced by a touch of minerality. On the palate, it reveals crisp flavours of lemon and green apple, with a creamy texture that adds richness. A slight nuttiness complements the fresh acidity, leading to a clean, refreshing finish that lingers with a touch of elegance.
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.
