Domaine des Dieux Claudia Brut 2019

Domaine des Dieux Claudia Brut is praised for its vibrant apple and citrus notes, buttery undertones, and creamy texture. While some find it opulent and harmonious, others mention an unappealing aroma. The wine is often described as full-bodied with a rewarding finish, appealing to those who enjoy a dry, elegant sparkling wine. Its complexity and balance make it a well-regarded choice.

This South African sparkling wine, crafted in the traditional method, presents a luminous pale straw hue with a persistent, fine mousse. The nose is an elegant interplay of green apple, lemon zest, and freshly baked brioche, underscored by a subtle minerality. On the palate, it reveals a taut, linear structure with vibrant acidity that enlivens the creamy texture. Nuances of pear and almond emerge, leading to a crisp, lingering finish. This Brut exemplifies the finesse and precision characteristic of Hemel-en-Aarde's cool-climate terroir, offering a sophisticated alternative to its Old World counterparts.
