Interview Feature: Genevieve MCC

I met Melissa Nelsen – owner and founder of Genevieve MCC a few years ago and what joy it was to work with her again! Melissa Genevieve Nelsen spent years deliberating over the creation of Genevieve MCC.

Photographs provided by Genevieve MCC Melissa’s mother always encouraged her to be uncompromising and to expand her vision. Melissa once had her sights set on taking to the skies but was unsure how to pursue this aspiration. Following an inspiring chat to her mother she decided to become a pilot. These days, whilst not averse to flying, Melissa prefers to keep her feet firmly on the ground (favoring the countryside!) “It was from this encouragement to think big that Genevieve was created. If I live to enjoy it, why not make it?” Melissa shares. A few years ago Melissa moved to a boutique wine farm in Bot River and found a small beautiful pocket of Chardonnay. Determined to make unsurpassed quality sparkling wine, from the outset, and to continue to do so each year Melissa attained the guidance of the renowned Gower wine making family making Melissa’s sparkling objectives with this wine achievable. Thank you for sharing your Story Melissa – I’m looking forward to sharing a glass of Bubbly with you again! What is your Company about? We are a small boutique winery producing Méthode Cap Classique in the Overberg. What do you have to offer brides-to-be out there? Genevieve MCC jumps to the opportunity to make any bride-to-be celebrate the special moments of her wedding with family and friends.
