Hand-tended across 40 hectares along the river Linge. We nurture 14 rare heirloom cultivars, cold-pressing cloudy nectars and aging wild-fermented ciders in French oak puncheons.
The Four Seasons of De Betuwe Orchards
Explore how our generational fruit practice transforms through the cycle of bloom, growth, harvest, and cellar aging.
Autumn: The Great Harvest & Wild Pressing
September through late October marks our busiest time. Trees are hand-harvested in multiple selective passes when sugar levels reach ideal Brix balance. Fruit is cold-pressed within four hours of picking.
The Cellar Craft: Slow Wild Fermentation & Traditional Pressing
Inside our estate press house along the river Linge: heirloom apples milled and pressed under heavy oak and iron, yielding raw unpasteurized golden must aged in seasoned French oak barrels.
Heirloom apples with distinctive character & pairings.
Cultivated exclusively for flavor, complex acidity, and cellar potential rather than industrial uniformity.
Elstar Heritage
Golden skin with radiant ruby blush. Celebrated across the Netherlands for its explosive aroma and vibrant sweet-tart balance.
Golden Pippin
Luminous warm amber skin with russet freckles. Rich nuances of baked spiced pear, raw wildflower honey, and toasted brioche.
Verdant Boskoop
Dense matte green coat with rustic russeting. Firm crunch with an invigorating, sharp citrus punch prized by European pastry chefs.

Cuvée Brut Vintage 2026
