Benguela Cove MCC Cuvee 58

R185.00

This methode cap classique allures with vivid aromas of candied apple, pear and sweet grass that comes to life when the fine mousse explodes on the surface. The expected bright acidity is balanced with a tangy finish, concluded with a fresh floral note. Absolutely delicious for summer.

With a name that celebrates the facets of a diamond, Sauvignon blanc was a clear-cut choice to shine in this refreshing MCC. Reflecting the precision that both the diamond cutter and the winemaker apply to their craft, this wine is light yet luminous with enough gravitas to pour at any celebratory occasion.

Description

WINE OF ORIGIN: WALKER BAY

Winemaker’s Notes:

Bestowed with all the privileges of the cool Walker Bay, Sauvignon blanc steals the spotlight in this blend. Nudged by the lagoon, with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even further at night. A beneficial diurnal range aids in even ripening and complexity while maritime winds encourage healthy vines with minimal intervention.

Cultivars: Sauvignon blanc 82% + Pinot noir 19%. Grapes were hand harvested in the crisp morning and carefully hand sorted. Whole bunch fermented and pressed, only free run juice was used to ensure the best quality. A partial malolactic fermentation (60%) was done to soften the acidity but to still preserve freshness and genteel aromas. After blending and bottling, a secondary fermentation was induced to initiate that fine bubbles methode cap classique is celebrated for. Time on lees: 12 months
