Taste
A refined South African sparkling wine, Groot Phesantekraal MCC reveals an enticing bouquet of citrus, lemon curd, and subtle wet stone on the nose, leading onto the palate with a round yet mouthwatering sensation. Expect delicate bubbles, balanced acidity, and nuances of fresh grapefruit and biscotti, all layered over a creamy, savoury base for a long, elegant finish.
Producer
Groot Phesantekraal, set in the cool Durbanville Wine Valley, stands out for its dedication to capturing the unique character of its terroir. Winemaker Richard Schroeder crafts wines that express the mineral-rich shale and clay soils of the estate, using a low-intervention philosophy. With an innovative touch, Richard utilises both traditional and modern techniques, including concrete eggs and French oak, within a state-of-the-art cellar converted from an old dairy. This familial estate, under the Brink family for over a century, exemplifies sustainability and progressiveness, and has earned accolades for both its vision and achievements in the South African wine industry.
Awards & Critic Scores
Although the MCC is still a relatively recent release, Groot Phesantekraal is frequently recognised at major awards, especially for its Chenin Blanc and Pinotage. The winemaker, Richard Schroeder, has been twice nominated for the Diners Club Young Winemaker of the Year, while the farm recently won multiple trophies at the Investec Trophy Wine Show and Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards. The Vivino score for Groot Phesantekraal sparkling wines frequently climbs above 4.0, demonstrating strong appreciation from global consumers.
What is MCC?
MCC stands for Méthode Cap Classique, which is the term used in South Africa for sparkling wines made using the traditional Champagne method. This process involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating natural bubbles and yielding wines with complex aromas, fine mousse, and depth of flavour. MCC wines often combine local grape varieties with time-honoured techniques, resulting in sparkling wines that are celebrated for their elegance, refinement, and ability to express South Africa’s unique terroir.
