The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

 

The Apostelhoeve Cuvee XII Brut is not just any sparkling wine; it is the Dutch counterpart to the world-famous Champagne. Building on the success of the still Cuvee XII, Apostelhoeve has created this sparkling variant, utilizing various grape varieties from their own vineyard. The old vines on the Louwberg, owned by Apostelhoeve, produce an impressive harvest every year. Thanks to the expertise of winemaker Mathieu Hulst and the unique combination of three grape varieties, the ideal climate, and the chalky soil, the Apostelhoeve Cuvee XII Brut has an unparalleled taste.

The Apostelhoeve Cuvee XII Brut is crafted using the Traditional Method. This means that a still white wine is produced first, which then matures further with yeast in the bottle in the cellars of Apostelhoeve. After an extensive maturation process, during which the characteristic bubbles form, the result is simply stunning. This production technique, identical to that of French Champagne, makes the Apostelhoeve Cuvee XII Brut a true Dutch "Champagne".

When pouring the Apostelhoeve Cuvee XII Brut, the light yellow color is immediately noticeable, accompanied by a delicate mousse. The aroma is rich and inviting, with notes of blossom, tropical fruit, nuts, almonds, and a subtle hint of rose. On the palate, the Apostelhoeve Cuvee XII Brut comes to life with vibrant acidity, a velvety mousse, and a rich, broad flavor. The unique minerality of the marl soil around Maastricht is clearly present, culminating in a long, elegant finish.

Whether you are a lover of traditional Champagnes or simply looking for an exceptional sparkling wine, the Apostelhoeve Cuvee XII Brut will not disappoint. With its unique character and high-quality production method, it is clear why the Apostelhoeve Cuvee XII Brut is so well-loved and why it rightfully earns the title of Dutch "Champagne".
