Syrah from the cool Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge brings black cherries, liquorice, and subtle white pepper to the blend while the Mourvèdre contributes soft wild berry fruit, spice and backing structure. The grenache brings life, purity of fruit and draws a line of acidity through the wine. This blend shows hints of meatiness on the nose, underlined by curing spices whilst he finish on the palate is long, showing great fruit purity. A rich and generous yet balanced blend, a perfect partner for robust food. Serving wine cellar cool will help express the fruit on this wine.

The prevailing cool climate of the Hemel en Aarde Ridge makes for an exciting expression of three grape varieties that are more often than not associated with hot climates. Picking of the Syrah and Grenache in late March, the Mourvèdre in early April allow the vines time to accumulate an enormous amount of flavour in the grapes. The result is a Rhone blend with a great complexity of flavour, minerality and freshness derived from the deep shale/clay soils on which they are grown.

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.
