Bramon has been pushing the boundaries of wine-making with their award winning non-traditional Sauvignon Blanc MCC and traditional Blanc de Blanc MCC bubblies, highlighted with two double gold Michelangelo Gran D’or awards in 2015, voted Best MCC at the Terroir awards and a gold Michelangelo in 2016. They were the first to pioneer the unique and popular Sauvignon Blanc MCC and haven’t looked back!
Kay and Monty produced their first wines in 2012, and won bronze at the Old Mutual Wine Show in 2016 with their MCC Champu which also received 4 out of 5 stars by Platters. This MCC is pale to medium straw, with honey and dates on the nose and a hint of eucalyptus. With classic MCC biscuit notes and hints of lime and pear, this wine is a sparkly finish to a long day. Pop!
Lodestone tickles the taste buds with their Stonechat Brut Rosé MCC. Salmon pink in colour, this Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend is simply… beautiful. With a hint of strawberries and pomegranate delivered in a cloud of bubbles, this special wine should not be missed!
Newstead serves up two amazing MCCs – an MCC Brut with yeasty, tasty notes and a crisp, limey finish that won its third double gold Michelangelo Gran D’or award in four years. The estate has also won a second Gran D’or award for their Rosé bubbly which has become extremely popular and well worth the wait! With its raspberry flavours and hints of red berries, this is an elegant and refined experience for all lovers of bubbly.
Plettenvale’s Brut Rosé MCC is unmistakable with its exquisite tint of salmon pink colour and delicate hints of strawberry, followed on the palate by crisp fresh zest and vibrant fine mousse – perfect for any celebration. It is produced in the French tradition from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes grown on the north slopes facing the bay of Plett. Let this bubbly speak for itself!
Packwood Estate’s signature Gent is a 100% Pinot Noir MCC, harvested by hand in autumn 2010 and was made using the traditional French method. Its delicate mousse delivers a mouth filling roundness with an explosion of bubbles, high fruit intensity, leading to a crisp and refreshingly dry finish. What a pleasure!
