Award Winning
Villiera Monro Brut 2019
R460,00
This is our Vintage Prestige Cuvee. There has to be something at the top that is full and rich and can stand up to that main course. The Monro Brut is a blend of Chardonnay for finesse and Pinot Noir for richness and backbone. Rich, creamy, yeasty nose, with a refreshing flavour on the middle palate developing finesse and complexity on the aftertaste.
A Prestige cuvee, produced whenever conditions favour the production of fine sparkling wine. The name is a family name which the Griers were proud to associate with their flagship. This Cap Classique is made with maturation potential in mind.

In the cellar
Whole bunches were carefully deposited into pneumatic bag presses and gently pressed using a champagne pressing cycle. Only the cuvee (best quality juice) was used in the blend. Part of the Chardonnay (half) was fermented in used oak barrels for extra complexity. After blending with Pinot Noir, yeast and sugar were added for a secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by extended lees contact of 6 years.
In the vineyard
2019 was a relatively cool year with perfect ripening conditions. Only healthy grapes were picked by hand and delivered to the cellar in whole bunch form.
Cultivar
65% Chardonnay; 35% Pinot Noir
Food Pairing
