What reviewers say
“Ein sehr schöner Rosé MCC 🍾 Die extreme rosa Farbe fällt sofort auf und hat mich erst etwas skeptisch gemacht, aber ich wurde sehr angenehm überrascht. In der Nase Brioche und Zitrus, dazu ein Hauch Erdbeere. Am Gaumen eine wunderschöne Harmonie aus Frucht, Hefe, Mandel und Säure mit feiner Perlage. Langer, intensiver Abgang. Ein sehr ausgewogener MCC mit perfektem Trinkfluss - die Flasche war schneller leer als der begleitende Teller! 😂”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has fresh and savoury with notes of wild rose, dried herbs, fynbos, toasted brioche and strawberries. A delicate balance exists between the crisp acidity and subtle creaminess on the palate

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Steenberg 1682 Pinot Noir Méthode Cap Classique Brut lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Sparkling · South Africa (111 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 364.
