The wine region of Heuvellandse Wijn
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.
The wine region of Flandre
Northern Belgian vineyard (~60% of national production), sandy and clay-limestone soils, temperate maritime climate comparable to Champagne 30 years ago. Signature Chardonnay as white king: taut and precise with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, brioche and chalky touch — base for fresh and precise sparklers. Aerial Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry), round Pinot Meunier, vibrant Riesling. PIWI (Solaris, Johanniter) as complements.
The word of the wine: Arching
A stage in the vegetative cycle of the vine that occurs after the leaves have fallen and is characterized by the drying out of the soft shoots, which are transformed into hard shoots by lignification.
