Genevieve MCC is a family-run South African estate in the Bot River Valley, co-owned by founder and winemaker Melissa Genevieve Nelsen and viticulturist Leon. The farm, acquired in 2017, follows regenerative agricultural practices with a strong emphasis on sustainability. They produce a limited, small-batch Chardonnay-based Méthode Cap Classique Blanc de Blancs, aged for 42 months on its lees. The estate also includes a tasting room and guest cottages converted from an old barn.
