The wine is a tribute to Desiderius Pongrácz, a Hungarian nobleman who fled the uprising in his homeland and settled in the Cape winelands, where his fresh thinking on viticulture left a lasting mark. His name, signature and family crest appear on the distinctive fluted bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade only from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the classic Champagne varieties, the grapes are hand-picked from selected vineyard blocks on cool, south-facing slopes. The bunches are whole-bunch pressed, and the base wine is cold fermented, goes through malolactic fermentation and rests on its fine lees in stainless steel before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondary fermentation takes place slowly in the bottle in the traditional French manner, followed by several years of maturation on the lees before riddling and disgorgement. The result is a refined sparkling wine with a pale, green-tinged colour, a fine and lively bead, and layered notes of fresh fruit, almonds and freshly baked bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.
