Simply ludicrous value for money the Rosé Méthode Cap Classique from Pongrácz is crafted using the same technique employed in Champagne but with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown on the coast of South Africa. Matured on the lees for at least two years before disgorgement which is twice the duration required by law in Champagne this is a wine of timeless beauty at a price that makes any moment a celebration.
Suggestions of summer strawberries freshly baked bread blackberry sorbet and crisp redcurrants combine in this salmon-hued rosé to create a layered lively and lovely sparkling wine. Pair with seared duck breast wild mushroom pâté truffles and the finest company preferably in the garden.
Desiderius Pongrácz was a count from the Hungarian aristocracy and a lover of dachshunds. Following his graduation from the Academy for Agriculture he joined the cavalry but was captured by the Russians. After a decade toiling in one of the infamous labour camps in Siberia he was released back into the midst of the Hungarian uprising from which he escaped to Africa where he became a farm manager in Namibia. His journey then took him to Stellenbosch where he played a leading role in shaping viticulture in South Africa for two decades. Sadly he died in a tragic accident doing what he loved while transporting Chardonnay grapes to a nearby winery. The wines that bear his name are every bit as intriguing charismatic blue-blooded and pioneering as the man himself.
