Apostelhoeve Riesling 2024

A Riesling from Maastricht—who would have ever imagined it so many years ago? But we can be proud of Winemaker Mathieu Hulst of Apostelhoeve. He has made a significant contribution to Dutch viticulture. This has since evolved into very high-quality wines, including this Apostelhoeve Riesling. The Apostelhoeve vineyards are located just north of Maastricht, on the Louwberg to be precise. The chalky and marl-rich soil makes the Riesling feel very comfortable. With deep roots and old vines, they produce beautiful, thick bunches. In recent years, the temperature on the mountain has increased significantly, resulting in fuller and more aromatic white wines. This is why this white Riesling has become so popular.

What does the Apostelhoeve Riesling taste like?

After a long maturation period and careful attention from winemaker Mathieu Hulst, the Riesling grapes are ready to be harvested. They are harvested entirely by hand, following a rigorous selection process. Only the finest bunches are bottled, ensuring the pure and powerful Apostelhoeve style. The celebration begins as soon as you pour this white Riesling. A beautiful deep yellow color with green highlights. The aromas of green apple, a touch of apricot, and ripe pears complete the bouquet. The taste is also exceptional, offering a considerable amount of flavor with lovely fresh acidity. This Apostelhoeve Riesling also boasts notes of yellow and white fruit with a hint of lemon.

What do we eat with a Dutch Riesling?

The fuller, floral notes of this white wine make it a wonderful accompaniment to salmon or tuna. It also pairs beautifully with other fish, for example, rich or fatty sauces. It's also highly recommended with poultry, curries, and even highly spiced dishes. With its full-bodied and powerful style, this Apostelhoeve Riesling can hold its own in any dish and provide the perfect complement.
