\"\"<\/a>Well-known MCC producer Villiera has listened to consumer demand for light wines, in producing a lighter and fresher sparkling wine they have called Starlight Brut, with an alcohol content of 9,5%.<\/p>\n

The lightness of the Starlight Brut is communicated by a very light silver star-shaped label, with no foil over the wire closure. \u00a0The ‘Starlight’<\/em> name comes from the reaction of delighted drinkers of the new sparkling wine, likening it to tasting the stars. \u00a0The back label states: ‘Since then it has truly become the drink of the stars, from romantic dinners, to parties beneath them. \u00a0Where there are stars there is Starlight MCC’. <\/em>Jeff Grier is the Villiera winemaker.<\/p>\n

The current Villiera MCC range of Tradition Brut NV, Monro Brut 2007, Tradition Ros\u00e9 Brut NV, Brut Natural 2009, and Brut – Special Dosage NV has an alcohol content of around 12%. \u00a0The new Villiera Starlight Brut retails for R95.<\/p>\n

The packaging for the delivery, organised by PR agency Grapevine Publicity on behalf of Villiera, was in a bag made by Freedom’s Enterprizes from re-used newspapers, a nice eco-friendly touch.<\/p>\n
