The Apostelhoeve Cuvée St. Pieter Brut 2023 is everything you'd hope for from a sparkling wine, but with a unique Dutch signature. This wine comes from the Sint-Pietersberg in Maastricht, a place where history and viticulture meet.

Chardonnay – Sint-Pietersberg
Provides finesse, structure and elegance.
Pinot Noir – Sint-Pietersberg
Gives body and subtle red fruit.
The wine is a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir and matures for no less than 24 months sur latte. This long maturation on the lees ensures extra complexity, a fine mousse and those typical brioche notes that you normally find in high-quality sparkling wines.
In the glass, this Brut immediately shows what it has to offer. Fine, elegant bubbles rise, bringing forth aromas of brioche, roasted almonds and red fruit, complemented by a fresh citrus lift. On the palate, it is lively and crisp, yet at the same time round and refined due to its maturation. The mousse is soft and refined, while the finish lingers long and elegantly.
This is one of those wines that you keep pouring, because it reveals something new every time.
Apostelhoeve is one of the oldest and most prominent wineries in the Netherlands, located on the slopes of the Sint-Pietersberg in Maastricht. The family business played an important role in the development of modern Dutch viticulture and is known for its consistent quality and precision. With the Cuvée St. Pieter Brut, Apostelhoeve shows that the Netherlands is also seriously competing in the field of sparkling wine.
