Rose of Sharon MCC

This Cap Classique pairs well with a variety of dishes, including veal, pork, game meats like venison, rich fish such as salmon and tuna, as well as vegetarian and poultry dishes.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards located on the slopes of the Babylonstoren mountain range in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, Western Cape, South Africa. The vineyards, situated at elevations around 320 meters above sea level, benefit from a cool maritime climate and soils composed of deep, rich clay with broken shale, ideal for cultivating premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

After secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wine is matured on its lees for 84 months (7 years) in the cool of the cellar before disgorgement.

The Rose of Sharon is crafted using the saignée method, where colour is extracted at the time of pressing once the desired hue is achieved. The base wines undergo cool fermentation in stainless steel vats to preserve delicate fruit flavours. A small portion is fermented in new oak barrels to add dimension.

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.
