Pongracz
Recently ranked as the only South African Top 10 contender at the prestigious 2015 Effervescents du Monde competition in France alongside the world’s finest, the Desiderius 2008 is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir crafted in the classic French tradition, but proudly on South African soil.
In addition to this prestigious world-ranking, the graceful Pongrácz flagship was one of just two South African Cap Classiques to be awarded a gold medal at the annual international Best Sparkling Wines in the World competition - which included a field of French Champagnes.
With its alluring rich golden complexity and a slight green tint that teems with lively bubbles and nuances of fresh fruit, almonds and rich buttery bread, Desiderius Pongrácz is a sensory delight. This prestige cuvée is the ultimate pairing with bitter dark chocolate, duck liver parfait and orange-scented culinary pleasures – perfect for festive season indulgence!
Desiderius 2008 is available at top wine outlets and boutique wine shops, selling for R375 at www.vinoteque.co.za. For more information, visitwww.pongracz.co.za, www.facebook.com/PongraczCapClassique or follow @Pongrácz on Twitter.
