Domaine Des Dieux

One of the last stops on the Hermanus wine route R320 is Domaine Des Dieux. Their award winning MCC's made us venture along the dirt road and it was worth it. The tasting room also recently reopened after a revamp! It overlooks the beautiful pinot noir valley and an afternoon here will pass too quickly.

Welcome to the revamped Domaine Des Dieux

A tasting will cost you R20pp and the fee is wavered if you buy a bottle.

My favourites were the following

• Claudia Brut MCC 2009: This was the Amorim Methode Cap Classique challenge champion. After one sip you will know why this is one of the best MCC's in South Africa.
• Claudia Brut MCC 2008: I actually preferred is one to the above. The 24% Pinot Noir gives is a subtle sweetness and the 76% Chardonnay delivers the creamy/biscuit notes.
• Rose of Sharon MCC 2008: It you prefer a sweeter MCC then I would recommend this one.
• Syrah Mourvedre 2011: Spicy and fruity wine perfect for steak dinners!

We enjoyed their MCC's during our Christmas festivities and the Claudia 2008 will definitely make an appearance during New Year! Visit them to spoil yourself for the last few days of holiday :)

Cheers!
