L’Avenir MCC Brut Rose 2020

L’Avenir MCC Brut Rose 2020

R240,00

Crisp, fresh and inviting, this dazzling Cap Classique is elegant, complex and made to satisfy.  A vibrant, clear sunset pink that will evolve into light onion-skin over time. The nose shows grapefruit and lemon,
bruised apple as well as typical notes of brioche, pastry and dough. Medium-bodied with lively acidity. A delicate and creamy mousse gives a rounded mouthfeel with flavours of lemon, pomegranate and ginger biscuits.

The 2019 vintage stands out in terms of freshness and elegance. L’Avenir’s wines from this vintage boast natural acidity and crispness. Phenolic ripeness was attained at lower sugar levels resulting in wines with
lower alcohol levels.

More Information

In the cellar

Selected commercial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae/bayanus yeast were used. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at 14 degrees for up to 14 days. Secondary fermentation took place in bottle to reach alcohol percentage of 12% and pressure of 5-6 bar.

In the vineyard

Selection of specific Stellenbosch vineyards that were harvested earlier by hand to give higher acidity and elegant flavours. The Atlantic Oceans offers a gentle afternoon breeze which drifts over the farm to exert a cooling influence again in the later afternoon Cape sun. Harvested end-January and mid-February 2019.

Ageing

18 months in bottle, on the lees

Food Pairing

A canape's best friend! This sparkling rose is the perfect match for smoked salmon, as well as parma ham.
