Introduction
Anthonij Rupert Wyne L`Ormarins MCC Brut NV is a truly exceptional and elegant sparkling wine. It stands as a pinnacle of Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) winemaking, showcasing the potential of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes in South Africa’s Western Cape. The Anthonij Rupert Wyne winery crafts this wine from meticulously selected vineyards. Grapes are harvested carefully to ensure pristine acidity and freshness, which are vital for this style of wine. This non-vintage 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 Wyne L`Ormarins MCC Brut NV enchants with a brilliant, pale straw colour and a fine, persistent mousse. It shows remarkable elegance. The bouquet offers layered notes of green apple, citrus zest, and white peach. These intertwine with complex undertones of toasted brioche, almond nougat, and a delicate yeasty complexity derived from extended lees aging. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully structured. Concentrated fresh fruit and nutty, savoury 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 fruit, complex autolytic notes, and the formidable character of this iconic sparkling wine.
Perfect Pairings
This distinguished 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, smoked salmon, or delicate canapés. Its bright profile also suits light cream-based sauces and aged, hard cheeses such as Parmesan or a young Gruyère. Consider dishes with subtle herbs or a touch of salinity. This wine is superb for special occasions, as an apéritif, or for pairing throughout a sophisticated meal.
