This vineyard is operated by Wijndomein Heerenhuys der Pley. The vineyard is located on a southwest slope of the upper part of the Noordal in the hamlet of Bergenhuizen. The name refers to a former dump of the remains of wood burning.
There is a solid package of loess on this site, more than a meter thick. Below beautiful silicon rock from the Hoogcruts formation that quickly changes in this area to the gravel mix of the Simpelveld formation. This is typical of this upper part of the Noordal. Below this, approximately four meters deep, but very easily accessible for the selected grapes, lies the limestone, the Gulpener chalk, so unique for Noorbeek.
This combination with the firm slope, gives an extremely suitable terroir to produce sparkling wines. That is why we chose 800 sticks of Chardonnay, 400 sticks of Pinot Noir and 400 sticks of Pinot Meunier. By focusing the plantings specifically on the southwest, the focus is mainly on quality and not on quantity. The choice of sparkling wine completes the wine assortment in Noorbeek.
