An elegant and distinctive Méthode Cap Classique, Pongracz is inspired by a nobleman and refugee from the Hungarian uprising, Desiderius Pongracz, whose sheer genius and vision revitalised viticulture in the Cape. Composed in the classic French tradition of two noble varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this magnificent Cap Classique evokes an air of style and sophistication, a tribute to the genius to whom we owe its name.

Pongracz is made of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes which are handpicked from vineyards cooled by maritime breezes and selected for their overall quality and suitability. The Pinot Noir vines grow in deep red soil at an altitude of 320m above sea level, whilst the Chardonnay is harvested from vineyards at 100m to 200m above sea level.

Pongracz is made of 51% Chardonnay for its distinctive body and taste and 49% Pinot Noir that imparts a clean flintiness. The grapes are harvested by hand at 18 - 20° Balling from January until mid-February. After whole bunch pressing with minimal skin contact, the clear grape juice is left to settle before it is pumped into steel tanks for cold fermentation. After the first fermentation and malolactic fermentation the wine is prepared for secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine is left on the lees for 15 months before the sediment is removed in the traditional process of “remuage” and “dégorgement”. The bottles are then corked and laid down in a cool cellar for a further 2-4 months.
