In 1996 Jean-Pierre Six created Wijngoed Monteberg. A site on the southern flank of the Monteberg (which is actually the other side of the famous Kemmelberg), 600 vines and a good dose of spice: these three ingredients formed the basis of what was a daring experiment on Heuvelland soil. However, Jean-Pierre soon got a taste for viticulture and continued to focus on his passion. “A project has to mature like a good wine!” said the winegrower, and the pioneering work thus became his life's work. From meritorious and sympathetic to craftsmanship and quality product… Over the years, gigantic steps have been taken to achieve a respectful wine estate. Jean-Pierre has meanwhile passed on the torch of Wijngoed Monteberg to a new generation. Edward and Katrien, who have been writing this authentic family story for years, are expanding their father's project with heart and soul. While Belgian viticulture was still a laughing stock 20 years ago, our sommeliers are finally discovering the potential of what is possible in our low countries... And it can only get better!
This red wine is pretty intense color with purple tints. A pleasant lighter structure, which perfectly reflects our climate. The wine is best served at 16°C. The wine should be opened in advance to 3 hours to come into its own. We experienced a nose of blackberries, cherries and almond aromas, a strong bite, peony and straw. It is best drunk within 6 years.
The wine is bright and light in color, complex aromas such as peche-apricot, white fruits translated as apple, floral notes such as petals and bright impression of elderberry flowers. The latter is slightly more accentuated in the mouthfeel. The wine has a beautiful caudalie what soon invites another sip. The aromas are best released at a pour temperature of 10 ° C. It is best drunk within the first 5 years.
