First stop this week in the Western Cape. Just landed in South Africa about two hours before getting to the estate. Was not sure what to expect this visit since last time we just did a quick standing tasting at the bar. Colin was an amazing host giving us a wine safari drive around the vineyards and dams before going down into the facilities and the owners private cellar.

Near the top of the estate Colin popped and poured some of this Brut MCC from the estate. Light greenish yellow with a creamy nose layered with green apples. Moderate acidity (6.5/10) on the palate with a light plus body. Very clean and fresh with some citrus zest, brioche and apples. Medium plus length finish. Drink till 2020.

Made out of 100% Chardonnay and disgorged two weeks prior to tasting (December 2017). Aged for two and a half years on the lees. — 8 years ago

Yum! Drank this on the recommendation of our Safari Camp Manager, Brett and it was incredible. Big, bold, fruity wine that held up really well to the local peppered venison (aka - Kudu) — 10 years ago
