Fresh and elegant South African traditional-method sparkling wines.

The South African classic method , known locally as Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) , represents the pinnacle of quality sparkling wine production. Produced using the same method used in Champagne, MCC involves a second fermentation in the bottle, which gives the wine its characteristic refined effervescence and aromatic complexity.

Among the pioneers of the MCC is the Simonsig winery, which produced the first South African classic method sparkling wine in 1971. Their Kaapse Vonkel is still one of the references in the sector today, with elegant bubbles and notes of green apple, citrus and white flowers, perfect to accompany light dishes or to sip on its own.

Another prestigious winery is L'Ormarins , which with its MCC Brut offers a structured and complex sparkling wine, with hints of tropical fruit, brioche and a fresh and mineral finish. L'Ormarins stands out for its attention to detail and the perfect balance between acidity and creaminess, making their MCC an ideal choice for special occasions.

The classic methods of Simonsig and L'Ormarins are outstanding examples of how South Africa combines tradition and innovation in the production of high-quality sparkling wines.
