terroir
The soil around Château St. Gerlach mainly consists of loess and marl. The microclimate, water management and the right soil composition ensure that the grapes grow well and become full of flavour. The vineyard, part of the Château St. Gerlach estate, is located on the ancient riverbed of the river Geul.
Grape varieties and wine types
Planted varieties are Monarch, Johanniter, Souvignier gris and Rivaner.
wine process
The entire winemaking process is in the hands of wine estate St. Martinus. The grapes are picked by hand after which they are transported to Vijlen. Here, oenologist Stan Beurskens and his team continue the process and get to work on making the wine.
