Sparkling wines from living soil


Vineyard

The foundation of our wine lays on the southern slope of Eys, in South Limburg. On this hill our grapevines are rooted in a thick layer of lime marl with flint. This former seabed is rich in minerals and is ideal for making quality wine. You can find this subsurface in the Champagne region and in South-East England, where sparkling wines dominate.

We are convinced that our natural approach benefits the quality of our wines. We develop new methods to make grapevines more resistant to diseases and pests and completely dispense with spraying agents. We also focus on a large quantity and diversity of trees and herbs. Trees are planted to eventually serve as living support. Various herbal mixtures will adorn our paths in the future. By pruning and mowing frequently we nourish soil life and improve the soil structure. Practice proves that plant diversity makes a system much more robust against extreme weather. In this environment the grapevine develops optimally and naturally complex wines are created.

Wine cellar

In our lime marl wine cellar, vinification takes place as naturally as possible. Everything is aimed at maintaining the quality of the harvest.

After the alcoholic fermentation via 'Pied de Cuve', the malolactic fermentation follows spontaneously. We do not use fining agents and do not filter. The wine becomes clear through settling and raking. Our experience shows that patience in winemaking pays off in quality. After the above process, the vast majority of our wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle to produce sparkling wine. We often combine several vintages for this. After the wine has allowed to mature in the bottle with the yeast for a number of years, it is finally time to enjoy the end product!
