History In 2002, after permission from the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Fisheries to call the 10 ha estate an estate, the conversion of the agricultural land into nature was started: Limburg hillside forest, calcareous grassland, a standard orchard of old fruit varieties and a vineyard. The start was made in 2003 with the planting of 5,000 vines and an additional 1,000 vines in 2005. Wine is made here from Limburg soil, with the taste of marl and the time of yesteryear.
Grape varieties and wine types
In 2003 and 2005 it was decided to plant four types of white and three types of red grapes: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois and Müller-Thurgau (white); Dornfelder, Regent and Pinot Noir (red). An eighth grape variety was also planted in 2010: Cabernet Sauvignon and in 2012 another 1 hectare was planted with 50% Müller-Thurgau and 50% Auxerrois.
terroir
This territory is located opposite the farm 'Overst Voerendaal' and is a dry valley in the plateau of Ubachsberg. The subsoil mainly consists of Voerendaals loess and Kundersteen. Kundersteen originated in the Cretaceous Sea that flooded South Limburg 80 to 65 million years ago.
Landscape and climate
This vineyard is located in the panoramic landscape that is so characteristic of South Limburg. The favorable location, the mineral and calcareous soil and the many years of experience lead to the production of top wines.
wine process
The planted varieties are carefully surrounded during the growing period and picked by hand. The grapes are then pressed and stored in stainless steel vats to ferment and settle before the wines are bottled by variety. The bottles are cleaned and filled with professional equipment, after which the tasting can begin.
