A Historic Maiden Vintage

The story of a showpiece vineyard has been captured in a new, premium Méthode Cap Classique, now included in the flagship Sense of Place range launched earlier this year by Stellenbosch Hills. The 2018 Anna Christina MCC is made of 100% Chardonnay from a top-performing Stellenbosch vineyard, and was produced in limited volume. Enticingly elegant, the wine shows aromas of fresh Granny Smith apples and citrus blossoms with a nutty yeastiness on the nose. Crisp acidity tingles the well-balanced palate, while a delicate mousse delivers a satisfying, mouth-filling explosion of bubbles with every sip. The MCC is the latest addition to Sense of Place, Stellenbosch Hills’ standard-bearer range that puts the spotlight on the terroir of its Stellenbosch vineyards. The 2018 Anna Christina MCC is available from the cellar door and exclusive wine retailers around the country, as well as on the wine lists of leading restaurants. The recommended retail price is R195 per bottle.
