Genevieve MCC

The search for the perfect terroir and quality grapes to make Cap Classique led Melissa to Bot River, and there she discovered a beautiful pocket of Chardonnay, located in the Van der Stel Pass

Description

Genevieve Brut Rose Sparkling Wine NV

100% Shiraz. 16-year-old Shiraz vineyards planted in Bokkeveld Shale on a chalky clay layer

Shiraz from the Bot River area tends to have more feminine qualities & layered complexity for making red wines, but also for Cap Classique

Dark salmon in colour with a delectable fine mousse, this lovely Shiraz-based sprakling wine has aromas of cherry and pomegranate on the nose that are accentuated by juicy red grapefruit and white peach flavours on the palate. It has a lingering, silky finish.

Berries & Cream Sparklings

Red fruit and bubbles, ranging from light and fruity pink Moscato, to vintage rosé Champagne and sparkling Shiraz

Saignee Method

Saignée involves the bleeding off, or draining off, of a proportion of juice from a tank of crushed red grapes. This technique increases the amount of skins relative to juice in the tank and typically results in a concentration effect, producing richer wines with more colour and tannin.
