In 2001 Wijnhoeve De Kleine Schorre saw the light of Zeeland. A strict selection of grapes has been made in collaboration with the renowned Luxembourg wine company Cep d'Or. The choice of grape varieties is based on a number of criteria. One of these is that the wines must connect seamlessly with the good that Zeeland has been offering for many years, namely the Zeeuwse Zilte Zalheden. These salty delicacies consist of: mussels, Oosterschelde lobster, oysters, flatfish, sea lavender and samphire. The choice of grape varieties has therefore fallen on Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Rivaner and Auxerrois. Currently, 42,000 vines are already planned. The vineyard has grown to 10 hectares, making it one of the largest vineyards in the Netherlands.
In our opinion, the Schouwen-D®uiveland Barrique is the topper of the Kleine Schorre. It is a blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris which has been allowed to mature in oak barrels. In the glass the Kleine Schorre has a bright straw yellow colour. In the nose the wine is aromatic with citrus, vanilla, acacia, peach, caramel, nuts but after a few waltzes in the glass we detect apricot and elderflower. In the mouth the Barrique is powerful and full. The oak aging can certainly be tasted with the vanilla notes, but here too the Kleine Schorre Barrique remains elegant and fresh.
This wine goes very well with fish in sauce or butter, such as fried scallops with white asparagus, Oosterschelde lobster with melted butter, soft cheeses.

The Vineyard
Currently, 42,000 vines are already planned. The vineyard has grown to 10 ha, making it one of the largest vineyards in the Netherlands. In the barn of the Wijnhoeve, the cellar and the test domain are housed. When it is time for the harvest, the Wijnhoeve is dependent on volunteers to pick the grapes. The grapes are processed with the utmost care in the cellar on the grounds.
Friends of the Wijnhoeve
Wijnhoeve De Kleine Schorre has been built by six enterprising Zeeland gentlemen into a flourishing Zeeland company. It has a special structure. In addition to the five shareholders, 25 certificate holders are also involved in the Wijnhoeve. Moreover, the Wijnhoeve has an extensive network at its disposal. This is the result of the possibility to also lease vines for a certain period of time.
Wijnhoeve De Kleine Schorre is located in the typical Zeeland ring village of Dreischor on the island of Schouwen-D®uivenland. With her authentic black tarred barn from 1735, she owns one of the oldest barns in Dreischor.
