Melissa Nelson of Genevieve has released her first Rosé MCC — hooray!
Made from 15 year old Shiraz vineyards in Bot River, planted in Bokkeveld Shale on a chalky clay layer. 5,500 bottles were made.
Inception
We are hugely excited as a Genevieve Rosé MCC has been on the cards for as long as we have worked with Melissa’s wines. Over the last couple of years, we have spoken about it many times. And in the last 12 months, tasted many trial bottlings with different dosage (sweetness) levels … and we think she has nailed it.
Style
As you can imagine, being a Genevieve MCC, this is a delicious example of Rosé bubbles. Wine of Origin Bot River, it is super perfumed with fruit, spice and florals. While it is labeled as “Brut”, there is just a touch of subtle sweetness on the palate (7.4g/l). This allows the wine to be the most generous of Melissa’s wines on the palate. It is extremely more-ish, so one glass may not be enough …
