This top Brut from Apostelhoeve, made from the Riesling grape, sells out very quickly every year. For this sparkling wine, a still white wine is first made, then the Apostelhoeve Brut undergoes the same process as Champagne. The Brut is aged for 16 months in the Apostelhoeve cellars, creating very soft bubbles. This technique is called the Traditional Method.
A unique Dutch sparkling wine
Yes, we can definitely say that this Riesling Brut from Apostelhoeve is a masterpiece by winemaker Mathieu Hulst. He told me how he dreamed of a kind of "Champagne" from Dutch soil. After hard work and much deliberation, he knew for sure: the Riesling had to make this dream come true. And it is a fairytale and unique, with very powerful aromas and flavors – a magnificent result. The beautiful, refined bubbles reveal the superb quality we are dealing with. The Traditional Method ensures a superb balance between fruit and delicate aromas and flavors.
What does the Riesling Brut taste like?
With its Champagne cork, the party begins the moment you open the bottle. A light yellow color with greenish highlights, refined primary fruit aromas evoke citrus and peach, and luminous, pure notes of typical Riesling expression and roses. Very delicate and refined. A soft mousse that enters subtly and delicately, offering a beautiful balance between fresh acidity and the slight residual sweetness of the Riesling. Very accessible with a juicy attack and lovely fruity notes.
What do we eat at the Apostelhoeve Riesling Brut
First and foremost, it's a celebratory bottle. If you have something to celebrate or want to kick off a dinner party, consider this sparkling wine from Apostelhoeve. You and your guests will be amazed by its excellent quality. It also makes a wonderful accompaniment to oysters or a delicious salad. Shellfish and lobster are also delicious with this Apostelhoeve Riesling Brut.
