Dutch wine - Wine from the Netherlands
The Apostelhoeve
The Dutch climate is changing and that has negative consequences, but also a positive one and that is that more and better wine is being produced. The Dutch top producer is Apostelhoeve from Maastricht. We have a few gems from this winery in our assortment. The Dutch wine tradition has its origins in Roman times, after the Middle Ages the Dutch wine tradition made way for other forms of agricultural activity. In 1970 the first vines returned to the southern slopes of the Jekerdal, on the Apostelhoeve. On the Apostelhoeve, one of Limburg's most beautiful spots on top of the Louwberg, the Netherlands' oldest and one of the largest wine estates in the Netherlands is enthroned. |
Wijndomein de Apostelhoeve currently consists of 20 hectares, where 5 different grape varieties are planted: Müller-Thurgau, Auxerrois, Riesling, Pinot Gris and since 2020 also Viognier. At the moment these grape varieties produce six beautiful, dry, white wines: the Müller-Thurgau , Auxerrois , Apostelhoeve Cuvée XII , Riesling , Pinot Gris and Pinot Gris Barriques . The Apostelhoeve also makes two beautiful sparkling wines: the Riesling Brut and the Apostelhoeve Cuvée XII Brut . |
