2021 Apostelhoeve Auxerrois Louwberg Maastricht

This Auxerrois Louwberg is another topper from vineyard Apostelhoeve from Maastricht, Limburg. A beautiful Auxerrois and then also from Dutch soil! The grape variety (Auxerrois) is originally a white French grape variety, a cross between Pinot Blanc and Heunisch Weiss that, because of its preference for cooler climates, is also successfully grown in Limburg. Where the grape produces this beautiful dry, white wine that is very accessible and tastes wonderfully juicy. The Auxerrois is fresh and lively with nice fruit tones (apple, pear, citrus, melon) and not too much acidity. The smell is also very fine with aromas of flowers, fruit (apple, pear, grapefruit) and a little bit of herbs (mint).

This beautiful Auxerrois goes well with various (smoked) fish, chicken, sushi and shellfish.

Wijngaard Apostelhoeve of the well-known winemaker Mathieu Hulst is one of the most famous vineyards in the Netherlands, located south of the city of Maastricht on the Louwberg, in the extension of the Cannerberg on the west side of the Jekerdal. Currently, this beautiful winery has an area of 6 hectares that is used for viticulture. The grapes grow on a soil of pebble and marl with a layer of loess over it.
