Judy
Our very own CFO (chief food organizer) loves pairing a good meal with an equally delicious glass of wine. Cederberg Bukettraube 2021 - A floral Bukettraube with notes of chamomile and white blossom aromas. Hints of apricot, dried fruit, and honeydew follow through on the palate. Semi-Sweet on the palate that leads to a sensational creamy finish. A great food pairing wine. |

Michelle
Manager of advertising & CellarDirect merchandising - always ready to clink a glass of bubbles, Michelle loves the Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV is her choice of tipples. This wine has a unique pale silver-pink hue. Aromas of raspberries, cherries, and a few secondary whiffs of minerality. A lively mousse, but fine in the mouth, with subtle red berry flavours enlivened by bright acidity. Brisk, yet delicate on the palate, bursting with flavours of freshly crushed berries and hints of oyster shell. Flirtatious and fun, yet elegant and structured, it’s perfect for all seasons and settings.

The Org de Rac Chardonnay 2021 shows irresistible aromas of tropical fruit that are beautifully balanced by subtle oak and follow through on the palate.

Dominique
WSET Level 3 educated wine writer and recently appointed digital media manager for wine.co.za, doesn't need any excuse to pop open a bottle of MCC. Particularly, an elegant Cap Classique from Simonsig such as the Kaapse Vonkel Brut 2019 with a light golden hue and fine persistent mousse. Fresh apple, white peach, and citrus blossom entice on the nose. A refined palate shows bursts of lemon, stone fruits, and raspberry with a hint of yeasty complexity. Beautiful acidity contributes extraordinary length and finesse to this Cap Classique, making every occasion a memorable celebration.
