The Apostelhoeve
|
The Dutch wine tradition dates back to Roman times. After the Middle Ages, the Dutch wine production was largely replaced by other forms of agriculture. In 1970, the first vines were reintroduced on the southern slopes of the Jekerdal, at the Apostelhoeve. Situated on one of the most beautiful spots in Limburg, at the top of the Louwberg, the Apostelhoeve is to the oldest and one of the largest wine estates in the Netherlands. |
The Apostelhoeve currently spans 20 hectares, where five different grape varieties are cultivated: Müller-Thurgau, Auxerrois, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and since 2020, Viognier. These grape varieties produce seven fine, dry white wines: Müller-Thurgau, Auxerrois, Apostelhoeve Cuvée XII, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Gris Barriques and Viognier. In addition, the Apostelhoeve also produces three exquisite sparkling wines: Riesling Brut , Apostelhoeve Cuvée XII Brut ande the Apostelhoeve Cuvée St. Pieter Brut.. |
