Morgenster owner Giulio Bertrand delights in innovation and has once again delivered the unexpected in his Estate’s first sparkling wine. It is a full flavoured, intellectually interesting bubbly made from Cabernet Franc, produced by the Méthode Cap Classique. This traditional bottle fermented style of production has resulted in a wine of intense flavour, big volume and fine bubble structure.
Morgenster Cuvée Alessandra 2016, named after one of Bertrand’s daughters, is his second release of the label. It has been produced in sufficient quantity to allow it to be marketed more widely. His maiden vintage, Morgenster Cuvée Alessandra 2015, was available only to diners at 95 At Morgenster, the restaurant on the Estate, and through the tasting room.
This is a wine that will last a few years.
