KARDOUW The Riverine Valley MCC 2019

South African sparkling wine at champagne level

South Africans love their "Bubbly" and the French like to drink "Champus". The Riverine Valley MCC 2019 combines the best of both worlds: South African grapes and the famous champagne method, which in South Africa is known as Methode Cap Classique - MCC for short. Champagne is considered by many to be the noblest of all drinks. However, a sparkling wine can only be called champagne if it comes from the Champagne region of France. The Riverine Valley MCC 2019 is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to drink a South African sparkling wine on a par with champagne.

As refreshing as sparkling mountain water 

This sparkling wine lives up to its name "Riverine Valley". Produced from South African white wine grapes, the sparkling wine bubbles like a mountain stream and tastes both fresh and pure. The flavours of the sparkling wine are reminiscent of brioche and pastry nuances with a light dash of lemon. The South African sparkling wine tingles like champagne and is perfect for special moments. Connoisseurs also enjoy drinking this exclusive drop around the clock - whether with a champagne breakfast or at sunset.

Finest sparkling wine from the Cape Town region 

The vines of this South African wine thrive on the slopes of a small Chardonnay vineyard on the Piekenierskloof plateau near Citrusdal. The fruit-growing region is located about 170 kilometres from Cape Town. Wine growing also benefits from the Mediterranean climate and the altitude. Over time, a number of South African winegrowers have also settled among the orange, lemon and cherry orchards, supplying grapes for the best rosés, red wines and white wines in South Africa. The Riverine Valley MCC 2019 sparkling wine is characterised by the altitude of the sandstone soils. The clear mountain water, the north-south orientation of the slopes and the south-easterly breeze from the Atlantic are ideal for the quality of the grapes, which can be tasted in every sip of this sparkling wine from the South African region. The alcohol content of this top wine is 11.29 %.
