Domaine des Dieux
Domaine des Dieux produces a small range of award winning premium quality wines. These wines are produced with the same fundamentals as the great French and European wines thus we encourage all our wines to be cellar aged in order for them to reach their full potential. The farm was bought in 2002 by two wine lovers with a dream. A combination of good quality grapes much patience and a love of champagne set the stage for Domaine des Dieux to officially become the first producer of MCC in the Hemel en Aarde region. The dream had become a reality.
Description
Depth and clarity are the defining characteristics of this wine. The nose shows gentle wood smoke, oyster bed, seville orange and lime peel, orange flower water as well as buttery, lactic notes. The flavour profile of the wine is decidedly fresh and cool, balanced tantalisingly with a rich, unctuous palate. On the palate, the fruit shows yellow and green plums, finishing with more lime peel and wood smoke. The wine is tight-knit, showing beautifully integrated oak flavours. Such a complex wine is always evolving and will reward slow savouring, as well as a number of years in the cellar.
