• 1 bottle De Kleine Schorre Auxerrois Schouwen-Duiveland (Zeeland)
• Cardboard gift box for 2 bottles, black with wood wool

Two great wines, two different regions

The Apostelhoeve Cuvée XII comes from the Louwberg near Maastricht. This wine is a blend of 40% Müller-Thurgau, 30% Auxerrois, and 30% Pinot Gris. It has a straw-yellow color with expressive aromas of white and exotic fruit. Additionally, you can detect floral notes and a hint of honey. On the palate, the wine presents itself with refinement, featuring a fresh and elegant mouthfeel.

The finish lingers for a long time. The marl loess soil provides beautiful minerality and depth. This wine matured entirely in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh character.

De Kleine Schorre Auxerrois comes from Dreischor on Schouwen-Duiveland. This wine is made from 100% Auxerrois grapes. It is lively and fresh with notes of apple, citrus, peach, and pear. The wine has a bright straw-yellow color and a floral character. What stands out is the subtle briny minerality that reflects the Zeeland terroir.

The grapes grow on an old shell bank with calcareous soil. As a result, the wine benefits from excellent drainage and many hours of sunshine. This wine also ferments in stainless steel tanks for maximum purity. KLM even serves this wine in its World Business Class.

Perfect combinations for the Top Dutch Wine Gift:

• Zeeland mussels: with dill or white wine for a classic Zeeland experience
• Oysters, grey shrimp, or Oosterschelde lobster: the salty minerality harmonizes perfectly with shellfish.
• White asparagus with hollandaise: both wines complement the delicate taste of the asparagus.
• Pan-fried sole, sea bass, or salmon: the freshness cuts through the fish flavors beautifully.
• Rich salads with fish or chicken: the elegant style pairs well with light main courses.
• Soft cheeses or goat cheese: floral notes and minerality work well with soft cheeses

Dutch viticulture on the rise

Viticulture in the Netherlands is experiencing a golden age. For a long time, it was thought that the climate was too cold for quality wine. Due to climate change and new mildew-resistant grape varieties, this is changing rapidly. Dutch wines are winning international awards and airlines are even serving them.

De Apostelhoeve has been active since 1970 and is considered a pioneer. The estate has 14 hectares of vineyards and produces more than 110,000 bottles annually. In 2020, De Apostelhoeve received the title of Producer of the Year from the trade magazine Perswijn.

De Kleine Schorre started in 2001 in collaboration with the Luxembourg wine company Cep d’Or. With 14 hectares and 63,000 vines, it is now one of the largest vineyards in the Netherlands. From the beginning, the focus has been on wines that pair perfectly with Zeeland's salty delicacies. Schouwen-Duiveland is one of the sunniest places in the Netherlands with little night frost.

The calcareous soil comes from thick layers of shells left behind by the sea. This unique combination makes Zeeland suitable for refined white wines.

Both wineries demonstrate that the Netherlands has become a serious wine country. The grape varieties have been carefully selected for the Dutch climate. Müller-Thurgau, Auxerrois, and Pinot Gris originate from Alsace and Luxembourg. These grapes combine freshness with sufficient body.

They ripen well in our maritime climate and give Dutch white wine a character of its own. The Top Dutch Wine Wine Gift showcases exactly what Dutch viticulture has to offer today.
