MORE INFORMATION:
The vintage Desiderius Pongrácz is so much more than just a beautiful bottle and exquisite taste. It’s a Méthod Cap Classique with a mesmerising personality. Desiderius Pongrácz She can transition seamlessly from day to night, so effortlessly dressed in understated elegance - equally at ease on a patio overlooking the ocean to dancing the night away or gazing at the milky-way far from the city skyline. Award-winning with a number of gold medals, trophies and five-star statuses to her name, she’s bold and confident. With a mischievous glint in her eye she holds all she meets spellbound. CLOSE THE CRAFT The Desiderius Pongrácz is made in the French time-honoured tradition of bottle fermentation and is a blend of Chardonnay (70%) and Pinot Noir (30%) grapes hand-picked from two selected vineyard blocks. The wine spent four months maturing on the fine lees before being bottled for a slow secondary fermentation producing the beautiful, elegant bubbles and brioche-like taste. The MCC’s rich complexity and classic yeasty character is imparted over time during prolonged maturation on the lees for over 7 years. The combination of fresh fruit, lively bubbles, almonds and rich buttery bread is a delight to the senses.

This prestige cuvée is the ultimate pairing with bitter dark chocolate, duck liver parfait and orange scented delights.
