Coastal Dutch vineyard on the Zeeland islands, shell-rich sandy soils and a saline oceanic climate. Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling produce crisp, delicately saline whites with citrus, green apple, white flowers and a mineral-iodine note — ideal acidity for seafood pairings. Solaris and Johanniter as disease-resistant support varieties. De Kleine Schorre is the reference estate.
