Plaisir De Merle Grand Brut 2016
The elegant and classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay features everything you love about MCC. Yeasty notes, lemon, apple and a daring sparkle. Get it from R230.
Tokara 2011
This 100% Chardonnay owes its elegance and finesse to the more than four years the wine matured on the lees. It’s a complex MCC with incredible effervescence and flavour. At R650, it’s also a wine that shows you care.
