Introduction

It stands as a pinnacle of Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) winemaking, showcasing the potential of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes in the Western Cape of South Africa.

This non-vintage rosé blend maintains a brilliant balance of finesse and structure, setting the stage for a wine of immense character and focus.
Character Description
The Anthonij Rupert L’Ormarins Rosé MCC Brut NV enchants with a brilliant, delicate salmon-pink hue and a fine, persistent stream of bubbles. It shows remarkable elegance. The bouquet offers layered notes of strawberry, red cherry, and nougat. These intertwine with subtle undertones of toasted brioche, rose petal, and a creamy complexity derived from extended lees aging. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully structured. Concentrated fresh red fruit and savoury, yeasty flavours mirror the nose. A firm, yet incredibly refined acidity provides superb backbone. The finish is exceptionally long and refreshing, leaving an impression of bright red fruit, complex autolytic notes, and the formidable character of this iconic sparkling wine.
Perfect Pairings
This distinguished Rosé MCC is perfect for delicate and celebratory dishes. Its vibrant acidity and elegant complexity complement a variety of meals. It pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, or light charcuterie. Its bright fruit profile also suits subtly spiced Asian cuisine and creamy soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. Consider dishes with fresh herbs or a touch of smoke. This wine is superb for special occasions, as an apéritif, or for pairing throughout a sophisticated meal
