The grapes were whole bunch pressed. After fermentation, the wine was left on the lees for about six months, after which the different components were blended and then bottled in May 2021. Second fermentation took place under crown cap, and the wine was left in bottle for a further 22 months before disgorgement (zero dosage) took place at end of March 2023.
STYLE
A sophisticated Methode Cap Classique (MCC), South Africa's answer to Champagne, made in the traditional method.

COMPOSITION
A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
REGION
South Africa, Walker Bay, Bot River.
