My Western Cape Wineries wine club recently got together for a blind MCC tasting at La Vie in Cape Town and other than the Moet being the highest voted wine, Viljoensdrift came in a very close second with only one vote difference.
I therefore opened a bottle a day after the event, to see if it was as good as I had remembered it to be, and to see how it tasted by itself, and not side by side 9 other MCCs.
It had a lovely yellow colour. I imagine this is partly due to the age. It is a 2008 vintage!
Bubbles continue after pour, not on surface - this settles obviously, but in the glass they continue for a long period.
Nose: Yeast, biscuit, peach and apricot (stone fruit)
Palate: Medium body, plenty of flavour, lovely honey, nuts and fruitiness. It is a little sweet on the front of the mouth with more tart expression on the back.
It has a lingering finish.
This is a very good MCC and at a fantastic price!
