Villiera Vintage Reserve Brut Rose 2000 Magnum

Joyful, rich copper colour and fine lazy bubbles. The unique rich, fruity character of Pinotage combines with the complexity of Pinot Noir and the elegance of Chardonnay. The extended period sur lie ensures the extra yeasty dimension.

in the vineyard : Villiera, a family run winery, is situated in the Stellenbosch region, where the prevailing Mediterranean climate favours, the growing of vines. We are a pioneering quality wine company committed to preserving the environment and we have been rewarded with membership to the Biodiversity of Wine Initiative.
in the cellar : The excitement of the new millennium inspired the Grier family to create a 10 year celebratory bubbly which could be enjoyed in 2010. A Rosé style was chosen for more structure and a magnum bottle for more gradual ageing. This MCC was bottled in 2000 and remained "sur lie" for 9 years before being disgorged. This is a unique one-off release.

The classic techniques of whole bunch pressing and fraction separation at pressing were employed. Partial malolactic fermentation of the base wine was permitted to create a softer richer mouth feel. Colour was achieved by the addition of 3% red Pinotage.
