Villiera Monro Brut 2016
Monroe Brut 1
AWARD WINNING

Villiera Monro Brut 2016

R410,00

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.

More Information

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 5 ½ years.

In the vineyard

2016 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.

Ageing

Powerful and rich to drink now, but it will still continue to improve for up to 3 years

Cultivar

Chardonnay50% / Pinot Noir 50%

Food Pairing
