In 2004 the vineyard was planted by the Association for Viticulture in Noorbeek. Especially to be able to grow and make wine, the association was founded by a number of enthusiastic hobbyists, who - despite some changes - are still active in the vineyard.
The exploitation of the vineyard was taken over in 2020 by Wijndomein Heerenhuys der Pley. Apart from the work in the vineyard, the association mainly focuses on promoting Noorbeek as a wine village and promoting the quality of viticulture in this region. The name Op gen Heugde (translated: 'Op de Hoogte') refers to the local name and location of the place where the vineyard is planted. The association members provide important support in the maintenance of the vineyard, the harvesting, winemaking and bottling of the wine. The aim is to achieve complete biological dynamic processing.
The vineyard consists of approximately 1350 Pinot Gris vines and the yield of the vineyard is approximately 600 bottles. In the meantime, some members of the association have also planted their own vineyard in addition to the joint vineyard, and the Op gen Heugde vineyard is therefore the cradle for the development and expansion of the total viticulture in Noorbeek.
