The Apostelhoeve Riesling 2023 demonstrates how refined and exciting Riesling from the Netherlands can be. On the sunny slopes of the Sint-Pietersberg, this grape achieves just enough ripeness while retaining its fresh acidity. The result is a wine that is crisp and lively, yet surprisingly complex.
This is a Riesling that you'll keep drinking because it never gets boring and always feels fresh.
The vineyards are located on the southern slopes of the Sint-Pietersberg, one of the most suitable locations for viticulture in the Netherlands.
- South Limburg: leading wine region in the Netherlands.
- South-facing slopes: maximum sun exposure for optimal ripening.
- Calcareous soils: provide tension and minerality.
These conditions give the wine its fresh, lively character.
