The estate is named after Desiderius Pongrácz, who was a Hungarian viticulturist. Pongrácz graduated from the Hungarian Academy in 1944 and rather than returning to the family estate, he promptly joined the cavalry to serve in World War II. He was unfortunately captured by the Russians. Pongrácz was a prisoner of war for almost a decade. Later, he would credit those years for instilling a zest for life prompting a prosperous viticultural career. He arrived in Stellenbosch in 1958 where he completed a Masters of Science in Agriculture at the university prior to an appointment as Chief Viticultural Advisor at Distillers Corporation in 1973. Pongrácz had a major influence on the South African wine industry throughout his career through lobbying for new grape varieties to writing the monumental Practical Viticulture book of which is still consulted by students today. Fittingly, the flagship wine of the portfolio is named Desiderius Pongrácz, a blend of 70 percent Chardonnay and 30 percent Pinot Noir. It spends four months maturing on fine lees before bottling. It is then aged for seven years prior to release. Other sparkling wines in the collection include the Pongrácz Rosé, the Pongrácz Brut and the Pongrácz Noble Nectar.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42892071895178,"sku":"","price":159.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/7_399fb724-c687-4271-bac3-d85b52134bab.webp?v=1681145836","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/en-ie\/products\/pongracz-brut-rose-methode-cap-classique-nv","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
