Terroir
Natural factors
- The largest part of the area consists predominantly of loamy fine sand, also known as cover sand (dekzand).
- In the northwest of the province, Holocene marine clay deposits occur over peat.
- Scattered across the province are smaller areas of Pleistocene coarse and fine sands, fine sand with boulder clay (keileem) within 120 cm, and loess, alongside Holocene peat deposits and drift sands.
- The climate is characterised by an average annual rainfall of 819 mm and 1,605 sunshine hours per year, measured as an average across Gilze-Rijen and Eindhoven.
- The average annual temperature is 10.2 °C, with 17.2 °C in summer and a diurnal temperature range of 9.7 °C in September.
Terroir / wine link
- The climate makes it possible to achieve the stated yields and a ripeness that expresses itself in a fresh, fruity wine with reasonably green and tropical notes, and black fruit in the red wine.
