Terroir

Natural factors

The soil consists largely of (loamy) fine sand, known as dekzanden (cover sands).
In the east, zones occur with fine sand and keileem within 120 cm depth.
The centre is characterised by glacially pushed formations (Sallandse heuvelrug) with coarse and fine river sands, often gravel-rich.
Along the IJssel, a narrow strip of rivierklei extends.
Climate: 837 mm of rainfall per year, 1,547 sunshine hours (Twente), average 9.6 °C per year and 16.7 °C in summer.

Product characteristics

White wines display both green and tropical fruit notes; red wines are characterised by black and red fruit.
The climate allows for sufficient ripening, resulting in fresh, fruity wines.

Terroir / wine link

The diurnal temperature range in September (9.5 °C) promotes ripeness and results in fresh, fruity wines with both green and tropical notes.
