Pongrácz
The story of Winery Pongrácz is inseparably tied to the life of Desiderius Pongrácz , a Hungarian count who found a new home in South Africa after the Second World War. In the Stellenbosch wine region he shaped the South African wine industry from 1973 onward as Chief Viticultural Adviser for the Distillers Corporation. He championed the introduction and spread of noble grape varieties such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir , and he revolutionized wine-growing practices by insisting on careful selection of high-quality plant material.
Desiderius Pongrácz's vision was to improve the quality and diversity of the grape varieties grown in South Africa. His commitment led to the modernization of viticulture and laid the foundation for the reputation of South African wines today. He documented his expertise in his standard work “Practical Viticulture”.
The Pongrácz Winery honors his legacy by dedicating itself to producing sparkling wines using the traditional method, the Méthode Cap Classique, mainly composed of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, are a testament to his tireless dedication to quality and innovation in South African winemaking.
Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The MCC Brut Rosé from the Pongrácz Winery is composed of 60% Pinot Noir, which lends it elegance, and 40% Chardonnay, providing a distinctive body and flavor. The grapes are hand-harvested from January to mid-February. After whole bunch pressing with minimal skin contact, the clear grape juice is settled before being pumped into stainless steel tanks for cold fermentation.
In the glass, this Pongrácz MCC Brut Rosé displays a delicate pink color accompanied by a very pleasant perlage. Subtle strawberry tones are complemented with a hint of baked bread. On the palate, the MCC Brut Rosé is perfectly balanced with very subtle acidity and juicy blackberry fruit.


Chardonnay & Pinot Noir
The cuvée of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir combines freshness with substance and is particularly well established as a sparkling wine . Chardonnay often contributes citrus and apple notes, lively acidity and a slender profile; Pinot Noir adds body, structure and sometimes delicate red fruit. Together, they create a balanced yet taut and full-bodied style. The acidity and substance support its ageing potential; extended lees ageing can add brioche and toasted notes.
This combination is classic in Champagne, and is also found in high-quality sparkling wines from other cool regions, such as England. With light pressing, the cuvée is usually pale yellow to golden yellow, and delicate pink as a rosé. Despite its dark berry skins, Pinot Noir contributes hardly any perceptible tanninwhen handled gently. The perlage accentuates freshness and texture; depending on the Aged, the wine may feel linear or creamy. It pairs well with fish, white meat and mild vegetable dishes.
