2021 Genevieve Methode Cap Classique Blanc de Blancs

93 Points: “Classy stuff from entirely fizz-focused Melissa Nelsen, this all-Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs from Bot River and Theewaterskloof spent four years on lees before disgorgement. Racy, intense and appealingly focused, it has green apple and citrus zest flavours, undertones of almond, toast, and macadamia nut and a tapering finish. Drink: 2025-28” – Tim Atkin MW, South Africa Special Report (September 2025)

FROM THE WINERY

TASTING NOTES: A refined vintage exhibiting a light green-gold reflection in the glass. The nose presents citrus, white floral notes, and hints of fresh pear, complemented by an appetizing complexity of hazelnut and minerality. On the palate, the wine offers a delicate and delectable character

FOOD STYLES THAT PAIR WELL WITH GENEVIEVE MCC:

Fish: High acidity of the Cap Classique refreshes the palate | Oysters: The minerality of Blanc de Blancs echoes the briny freshness of oysters, creating a match. | Pasta Dishes: Creamy pasta dishes are balanced by the acidity and effervescence of the Cap Classique. | Aged Cheese: Cap Classique’s acidity cuts through the cheese’s richness | Goat Cheese: The effervescent texture complements the cheese’s softness

Blanc de Blancs are best enjoyed when served chilled to a temperature range of (7-10 degrees Celsius). Serving at this temperature amplifies the delicate aromas and preserves the effervescence.
