Terroir

Natural factors

Holocene rivierklei and river sand deposits along the Rhine and Waal, sometimes with peat (Betuwe).
East (Achterhoek): loamy fine sand (cover sands); Montferland is a glacially pushed ice-age formation with river sand and gravel.
Northwest (Veluwe): pushed ice-age formations of coarse/fine gravel-rich sands, locally with drift sands.
Climate: average 861 mm of precipitation per year, 1,522 sunshine hours (Deelen) and a mean annual temperature of 9.8 °C.
The diurnal temperature range contributes to fresh, fruity wines with green, tropical and dark-fruit notes.

Product characteristics

White wines display fresh, fruity notes with both green and tropical aromas as a characteristic sensory profile.
Red wines are characterised by dark fruit as the dominant aroma profile.
