Villiera Monro Brut 2015 MCC is made from a blend of 65% Chardonnay, 27% Pinot Noir and 8% Pinot Meunier. 2015 was a relatively cool year with perfect ripening conditions. Only healthy grapes were picked by hand and delivered to the cellar in whole bunch form. Whole bunches were carefully deposited into pneumatic bag presses and gently pressed using a champagne pressing cycle. Only the cuvee (best quality juice) was used in the blend. Part of the Chardonnay (half) was fermented in used oak barrels for extra complexity. After blending with Pinot Noir, yeast and sugar were added for a secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by extended lees contact of 5½ years. Residual sugar is 5.9 g/li. Bottled at 12%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Freshly baked apple crumble aromas.

Palate: Soft mousse accompanied by apple strudel, honey and strawberries well married together with a refreshing acidity.

Finish: Toasty and creamy peach finish.
