Syrah Mourvèdre

This is a rich and generous yet balanced blend, a perfect partner for robust food.

Picking of the Syrah in late March, and the Mourvèdre in early April allow the vines time to accumulate an enormous amount of flavour in the grapes.

Malolactic fermentation takes place in small French oak barrels, followed by a maturation of 16 months. No new French oak has been used with this wine.

Very traditionalist winemaking is used here. A large portion of the Syrah and Mourvèdre is whole-bunch fermented, with pumping over used to help extract flavours from the skins. Long periods of maceration in tank lasting up to 6 weeks ensure that the wines are pressed off into barrel only when all of the potential is taken from the grapes.

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.
