Wijngoed Wanenberg

In 1997, the realization of the vineyard started. In 1998 the first of the now 650 Pinot Gris vines were planted. 150 Pinot Gris vines are part of the educational vineyard, which will be established in 2022. Hybrid grapes and food grapes are grown and pruned in more than 20 special ways.
Grape varieties and wine types Only Pinot Gris has been planted in the vineyard. This grape therefore only produces a Pinot Gris wine. Several hybrid varieties have been planted in the educational vineyard, such as the Kodrianka, Suzi and Lakemont grape. The unique pruning methods show how viticulture takes place in some places in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
terroir For the Pinot Gris, the vineyard has an almost ideal terroir. The vineyard is located in the northernmost part of the South Limburg loess area. Here the grape grows in a soil that consists of a mix of clay, gravel, loess, sand and pollen marl.
Landscape and climate The vineyard is located approximately 100 meters above sea level, on a slope in a valley landscape created by erosion. Due to the slope and continental weather influences, the vineyard has a favorable microclimate. This microclimate, including higher temperatures and less frost, is further enhanced by Wijngoed Wanenberg through the layout of the vineyard.
wine process The vinification is outsourced to a professional winegrower from the Moselle.
This vineyard is part of the Route des Vins Sittard .
