THE ART OF MCC MANUFACTURING
Since 1971, sparkling wine has been produced in South Africa using the traditional Champagne method. As with Champagne, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, giving MCC wines their unique quality. Although South African Winemaker are not bound to the typical Champagne grape varieties, they are still subject to strict regulations for the Aged of base wines, storage, and bottle fermentation.
MCC - A JOURNEY THROUGH HISTORY AND ORIGIN
The most famous regions for sparkling wine extend across France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and South Africa. France sets the standard for the sparkling wine industry worldwide with its Champagnes. Nevertheless, South Africa can proudly point to an impressive alternative with its MCC wines, particularly the Cap Classique Brut from Graham Beck.
AROMAS AND FLAVOR WORLD OF THE MCC
MCC wines often offer aromas that delight white wine lovers. The flavor palette ranges from citrus fruits to pears to caramel and varies depending on the grape variety used. Unlike many white wines, MCC wines age for some time with the yeast, which gives them a slight yeast flavor and a distinctive character.
SOUTH AFRICAN MCC ART
In South Africa, Méthode Cap Classique is the equivalent of Champagne. MCC wines are made from traditional Champagne grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, as well as South African grape varieties like Chenin Blanc. The renowned Winery Delaire Graff was the first to produce an MCC from Chenin Blanc.
