Stellenrust Clement de Lure MCC NV Sparkling Wine

A South African sparkling wine made using the Méthode Cap Classique – meaning bottle fermentation like in Champagne, with extended lees aging and a fine, persistent perlage. Clément de Lure is the rosé from the Stellenrust cellar in Stellenbosch.

The Stellenrust winery lies at the foot of Bottelarysberg, one of the cooler sites in Stellenbosch. The fruit comes from well-rooted vines, which provide structure and aromatic depth – essential prerequisites for a sparkling wine with substance.

On the nose, the wine displays red berries, pomegranate, and a hint of baked apple. On the palate, it has a creamy texture, fine bubbles, and well-integrated acidity without any harshness – the finish is fresh and short with a mineral note.

Recommendation: Serve well chilled at 7–9 °C as an aperitif, with smoked salmon, Asian shrimp or light summer dishes with goat cheese.
