Mudita | South Africa

Mudita is a wine of stillness, even in its bubbles. Founded with a quiet conviction to do things differently, this Cap Classique house takes a thoughtful, slow-burn approach to crafting exceptional sparkling wine. The name, drawn from the Sanskrit word for sympathetic joy, echoes the philosophy behind each cuvée: generosity, restraint, and a celebration of life's quieter moments.

As the owner, NC Krone, says "Every vintage hones my skills by teaching me new lessons. My dad continues to be an inspiration and my mentor, having made bubbly without added sulphur from his maiden vintage."
