Methode Cap Classique or "MCC" denotes a South African sparkling wine made according to the traditional Champagne method, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. The term Cap Classique has been used in South Africa since 1992. The term was adopted to refrain from using the word "champagne". MCC are considered a premium category in South Africa and the term ‘Methode Cap Classique’ will always be written on the label to represent their classification. Made in the same way that Champagne is, South African sparkling wines offer great depth of flavours thanks to their terroir (influences of Atlantic & Indian oceans) and grape varieties.
