Vineyard Bergenhoezeberg

Vineyard Bergenhoezeberg was planted in the spring of 2019 on the southern slope of the Noordal, halfway up the Bergenhuizen slope. The sisters Ellen and Vera Huls, united under the name Les Dames et du Vin, bought this plot in 2010 to graze young horses on it, as part of Opfokbedrijf Heuvelland, which is located on top of the mountain.

The special breeding ground from which horses previously benefited so much, now forms the excellent terroir for viticulture. The combination of limestone soil and the sunny hill with a 20% gradient make the plot extremely suitable for the production of red wine.
The choice fell on the Merlot grape, a French classic with authentic characteristics. 700 vines have been planted and it is expected that the first bottle of Merlot from Dutch soil (open ground) can be donated in 2022. In the vineyard, sustainable and circular cultivation is used as much as possible, for example, the falcon catches the mice and horse manure from its own stables is used for fertilization. The grapes are picked by hand.

Feel free to walk up past the vineyard on the left, a magnificent view over Noorbeek awaits!
