Michelle By KayN is a sparkling wine brewed from the Wine Route's renowned wineries of the Western Cape's winning hub. Michelle By KayN came about after Kagiso Noke went on various road trips along the route and discovered a fantastic creation made from red muscatel grapes with a blend of selected sweet strawberries.
It is a vin doux sparkling wine; fruity in taste, light in body and amazing bubbles to tickle your tongue.
"This innovation serves as a signature to me as a reflection of my love for fine and entertainment lifestyle, the love for bubbly and champagne. It was brought about to invite all souls to enjoy these fine, sweet bubbles without breaking their bank accounts or emptying their pockets. The wine comes in 750ml bottles and 300ml cans," Kagiso pointed out.
