The Benguela Cove Joie de Vivre MCC Brut presents itself to the connoisseur with a lively intensity and surpasses in elegance and style. The nose sniffs a subtle perfume and aromas of fine summer berries, followed by heavenly nuances of Turkish honey and fragrant brioches. On the palate, this ingenious method Cap Classique is seductively fresh and concentrated with beautiful tones of subtle minerality. The fine and soft perlage introduces taste nuances of delicious sponge cake, red apples and a fine nuttiness and rounds off this pleasure experience perfectly with a creamy complexity.

The grapes were sorted by hand and pressed separately all over the bunch. Only the free flowing juice was used for the further production process. After completion of the alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation was stopped in order to preserve the crisp, fresh and clear structure and clean fruit nuances in the wine. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were blended and bottled, where the cuvée underwent a second fermentation at a controlled temperature of 15° C and then matured on the yeast for 24 months.
