In 2008, the realization of the vineyard started. At that time, 737 vines were planted. Until 2019, the wines were vinified by winegrower Landsmann from the Moselle, after which the making of the wine was transferred to Stan Beurskens of Wijndomein St. Martinus in Vijlen.
Grape varieties and wine types
The vineyard contains 704 vines of Pinot Blanc (in Alsace this grape is called 'Clevner', in Germany 'Weissburgunder'), and 33 vines of Pinot Gris (called 'Grauburgunder' in Germany).
terroir
The vineyard is located in the northernmost part of the Limburg loess area. The top layer consists of brown and calcareous loess to a depth of 4 meters. Below this, the bottom consists of coarse sand, gravel and pebbles to a depth of approximately 13 meters.
Landscape and climate
The vineyard is located at an altitude of 107 meters in an open area with a perfect position in relation to the sun. The wind has free rein, so that spring frosts can be driven away, and everything dries quickly in damp weather. However, good canopy management must be applied to prevent sunburn.
wine process
Since 2019, the winemaking has been provided by Stan Beurskens of Wijndomein St. Martinus. Fermentation and aging of the wine takes place in stainless steel tanks. This results in optimum freshness and purity of the wines. Between 1200 and 1400 bottles are produced annually.
