Mother Rock “Force Celeste” Cuvee Petillant Naturel 2021

This is a sparkling wine style that begins fermentation as normal (usually in tank) in the winery, but is bottled before that fermentation is finished, thus capturing the carbon dioxide produced from fermentation to provide the bubble. A vibrant, primary and pretty sparkling wine.

The Mother Rock brand started with the release of the Force Majeure Chenin Blanc 2012. It was the idea of winemaker Johan ‘Stompie’ Meyer and UK-based wine importer Ben Henshaw – they conspired to create an “artisanal, well-made South African Chenin Blanc at an accessible price”. Its continued global success over the years has resulted in the expansion of the range. These wines have always been an expression of Stompie’s adopted home, the Swartland.
