L’Avenir MCC Brut Rose 2023
R250,00
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.

Specifications
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.
