The Penelope MCC Rosé is made using the Méthode Cap Classique - South Africa’s traditional bottle-fermented sparkling method modelled on Champagne - embracing slow lees ageing to build fine bead and nuanced texture. Under winemaker Bruce Jack’s guidance, The Drift focuses on wines that balance fruit purity with freshness and finesse, drawing on the estate’s unique terroir in the Agulhas Wine Triangle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour: Pale salmon-pink with persistent, fine bubbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1597\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003eNose: Delicate strawberry and red cherry aromas mingle with soft florals and a hint of citrus zest, showing the approachable rosé character typical of MCC from cool South African sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1827\" data-end=\"1830\"\u003ePalate: Light-bodied and lively, with fresh red berry fruit framed by crisp acidity and a creamy texture from extended lees contact.
