Pour the Apostelhoeve Pinot Gris into the glass and admire the beautiful mother-of-pearl shine with a light gray haze. The color is a hint at the grape's name, which means "gray" in French.
The scent of the Apostelhoeve Pinot Gris is rich and complex. You recognize aromas of ripe exotic fruit such as pineapple, mango and lychee. In addition, there are hints of honey, citrus and white flowers. On the tongue, the Apostelhoeve Pinot Gris is dry (trocken) with a full body. The fruity notes from the scent are reflected in the taste, supplemented by a pleasant roundness. The wine has a refreshing acidity that provides a nice balance. The aftertaste is elegant and persistent.
This versatile wine is delicious as an aperitif, but can also be excellently combined with various dishes. The full flavor goes well with Asian dishes, pasta, risotto or poultry. The Apostelhoeve Pinot Gris also comes into its own with a cheese board with ripe cheeses.

The Dutch wine tradition, which originated in Roman times, gradually made way for other forms of agricultural activity after the Middle Ages. Until 1970 when the first vines returned to the southern slopes of the Jeker valley in Maastricht. Here, on one of Limburg's most beautiful spots on top of the Louwberg, the Netherlands' oldest and one of the largest wine estates in the Netherlands, De Apostelhoeve, is enthroned.
This wine estate, now over 10 hectares in size, produces six beautiful, dry white wines, namely: the Müller-thurgau, Auxerrois, Riesling, Pinot-gris, Pinot-gris barriques and the Apostelhoeve Cuvée XII plus two sparkling wines: Apostelhoeve Riesling Brut and Apostelhoeve Cuvée XII Brut.
