Limburg Wines
August 10, 2017
On the rise
Limburg has a large number of quality wines and this is evident from their popularity. Did you know that people from Belgium and abroad come specifically to Limburg to discover it for themselves? Most estates therefore offer tastings and are also located in beautiful surroundings – so we don't always have to go to France or Italy for a unique experience. White wine and sparkling wine do particularly well in Limburg. Just look at the wine list of the better Belgian restaurants: Limburg wine guaranteed, because Belgian quality scores today!
Medals
At the election for Belgium's best wines, organized by the Association of Flemish Sommeliers, various Limburg wine estates win the vast majority of medals every year. The most well-known estates among them are Genoels-Elderen, Aldeneyck, Schorpion, Hoenshof, and Pietershof. Last year they took home no less than 14 of the 32 gold medals. The climate for viticulture is therefore excellent in Limburg. With Haspengouw, the Voerstreek, and the Meuse Valley, we have 3 top-located sites, each with their own character for a powerful wine.
Professor Ghislain Houben, professor of entrepreneurship at Hasselt University, launched the very first Belgian ice wine last year. You can read that story here. So we're not standing still in terms of innovation either.

Quality comes at a price
A bottle of Limburg wine obviously cannot compete in price with mass-produced supermarket wines – and that's a good thing. Our winemakers consciously choose quality over quantity: small batches, manual harvesting, and artisanal production. Every bottle tells a story of passion and craftsmanship.
What do you get for that price? An exclusive product you won't find anywhere else in the world. Wines that win international awards and feature on the menus of Michelin-starred restaurants. And the satisfaction of supporting local entrepreneurs who keep our Limburg wine tradition alive.
Cheers!
Whether you choose a crisp white, an elegant sparkling, or a full-bodied red – with Limburg wine, you'll always impress. Perfect for a special occasion, as an original gift, or simply because you deserve the best.
