Muratie Lady Alice Methode Cap Classique Rosé is made from the free-run juice of whole bunch-pressed Pinot Noir 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.
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.
Grapes were handpicked at the end of January between 19 and 20 °B and whole bunch pressed. The juice was settled for one day at 8 °C after which it was inoculated and fermented for approximately two weeks at 14 – 16 °C. 100% Malolactic fermentation was done in concrete tanks. The MCC consists of 100% Pinot Noir.
