Apostelhoeve Cuvee XII Brut

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 version using several 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 Production of Apostelhoeve Cuvee XII Brut

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