Muratie Lady Alice MCC 2018 (Case of 6)

As the wife of a senator, Lady Alice Sarah Stanford would rub shoulders with ministers, dine at ‘Tuinhuis’, host balls, officiate at college sports days – and by all accounts every event she attended turned into a dance party. Hers was the life of the English ‘landed gentry’, from hunting and shooting to lawn tennis and fancy dress, so life at Muratie was very festive indeed after she bought it in 1909. This Méthode Cap Classique bubbly made from 100% Pinot Noir is a toast to a lady for whom every day was a celebration.

Made from the free-run juice of whole bunch-pressed grapes, with a rose-gold
hue and very fine mousse, this wine has bright strawberry, cranberry and naartjie
notes lifted by mouth-watering acidity and offset by a shortbread richness and
creamy mouthfeel. Rose-garden aromas introduce this elegant bubbly; floral
perfume and baking spice linger after each sip.
