Unexpected and ultra-luxurious yet easy to prepare, this dessert with South Africa’s leading Méthode Cap Classique as the main ingredient will make mom feel really special. Pongrácz Brut lends that extra pizzazz to this light and uplifting dessert with its crisp acidity, fragrant green apples and hints of brioche – all in perfect balance.
For a retro-chic feel, serve the dessert in beautiful wide rimmed Marie Antoinette glasses and spoil mom with flutes of Pongrácz Brut to enjoy it with.
