Producer coverage

Read about Hageland below, or explore the region on the map.

Hageland lies broadly between Leuven, Aarschot, Diest and Landen in Belgium, in a landscape of steep hills. Its soils formed from former sea floors. On south-facing slopes, exposed iron sandstone leaves dry, sandy and stony ground. Hagelandse wijn is a protected designation of origin, registered with the European Union in 2004. Permitted grapes include Auxerrois, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Regent and Tempranillo. Wines range from Chardonnay made from that grape alone to blends that combine established varieties with grapes bred for disease resistance. Reds are a minority, and many wines have pronounced acidity.
