The Quoin Rock MCC Brut is a highly endowed Méthode Cap Classique from South Africa's cool Elgin region. Its fragrant bouquet pampers with seductive aromas of green apples, oatmeal with honey, crispy biscuits, tangy limes and fine minerality. Its delicate mousse and fine perlage complement the fresh acidity and creamy palate wonderfully. A wonderfully dry MCC of stunning elegance and class!

The hand-picked grapes were pressed all over the bunch and the juice obtained was put into second barrels of French oak where natural fermentation took place. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine continued to mature for a further 10 months in barriques, with the yeast regularly stirred in the wine to give it a nice complexity. The wine was then bottled, where the secondary fermentation was completed and the MCC matured for a further 52 months. Finally, the wine was skimmed off the lees and transferred to new bottles where it was left to mature for another 6 months before being released.
