Producer coverage

Heuvelland's vineyards follow south-facing, well-drained hills between Wijtschate, Westouter and Nieuwkerke in Belgium. Sandy-loam soils, iron sandstone and a deep groundwater table characterise the sites. The growing season is cool, while the North Sea moderates winter cold. Heuvellandse wijn is the protected designation of origin. Its permitted grapes include a broad range of white and red varieties, so no single grape defines the region. Sparkling wines are also produced.
