Serve with a rich and creamy French Camembert.

Grapes for our Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) wines are all sourced from the cool viticultural region of Walker Bay. It is in these areas that we find parcels of high-quality Pinot noir and Chardonnay that can produce wines of longevity and finesse.

Following their secondary bottle fermentation, wines will lie on their lees in a cool cellar for between 3.5 and 4 years before disgorgement in which the yeast sediment is dispelled, and the bottle corked, ready to be enjoyed.

Gentle, whole bunch pressing and protection from oxidation yields clean, fresh juices free of harsh phenolics. This gentle handling, and cool fermentations help to preserve the subtle fruit of these delicate wines. Careful blending of the different base wines brings together the wines that will marry well when they undergo their transformation into MCC.

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.
