TheVan Loveren Christiena Trousseau Méthode Cap Classique Brut is an elegant South African sparkling wine made according to the Méthode Champenoise ( Méthode Cap Classique). Wonderfully balanced with fresh tangy hints of lemon zest and lime, plus flavors of red apples and a hint of freshly baked cake. While the Chardonnay provides immense finesse, the Pinot Noir brings plenty of body and fruit. The fine and gentle perlage seduces every palate and leads to an elegant, distinguished finish. A noble cork popper for special occasions!

The grapes were harvested by hand and then pressed with great care. The grape varieties were fermented separately with added sugar and yeast for 8 months in stainless steel tanks after which the best wines were blended and bottled. The wine was aged for 24 months at a controlled temperature of between 10°C and 12°C before release.
The Van Loveren Christiena MCC is unique in that it has been fermented twice - the first time to provide a base blend with good acidity and moderate alcohol; the second time for the sparkling perlage.
