Van Zijl Family Vintners Elizabeth Francoisnette MCC 2020

Made from the three grape varieties that we find in Champagne, this MCC provides something that will knock your socks off if you love a good sparkling wine. First, you have an elegant label with clear information, also on the grape varieties used. Then you have some elegant bubbles in your glass with a light green-yellow colour. It is forthcoming on the nose with lime, apple, grapefruit and biscuits. It has a fantastic, fresh entry that remains there throughout – this wine did not undergo malolactic conversion, so it retains its freshness well. I haven't tasted an MCC that develops so well on the palate in a long time! Once it hits your palate, it is a slow development of white fruits, flowers and bread crumbs. It lingers for a long time with a fresh finish. I can confidently say that this is one of the top MCC's made in South Africa and is a must-try! It comes at a very good price and is available from Partners in Wine.
