Wines made from Rondo grapes of Heuvellandse Wijn
Discover the best wines made with Rondo as a single variety or as a blend of Heuvellandse Wijn.
Colourful, fruity reds with a dense purple robe, supple tannins and fresh acidity. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, blackcurrant and spicy notes. Round palate, best drunk young. A very early-ripening, cold-hardy interspecific variety (to -25 °C), it drives northern viticulture in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and Poland. German hybrid created in 1964 at Geilweilerhof (Vitis amurensis × Saint-Laurent, descended from Zarya Severa).
AOP from Flemish Heuvelland (West Flanders, 2005) on the south-facing slopes of Kemmel and Monteberg, well-draining sandy-loamy soils, cool climate tempered by the North Sea. Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Kerner are the signature whites: taut and precise with notes of citrus, apple, white flowers, and a mineral touch, cutting acidity — ideal for traditional-method sparkling wines. Auxerrois, Riesling, and Pinot Blanc as complements. Still wines, rosés, and sparkling wines.
