Heerlyckheyt Roonen Bergh stretches across the flanks of the Rodeberg with its typical soil of iron sandstone and loam. Sandstone retains heat, which promotes the ripening of the grapes. The loam is fertile, easy to work, moisture-retentive, and permeable to roots. The slope ensures good drainage, and the surrounding forest creates a perfect microclimate. This unique soil and specific location constitute the exquisite terroir for the vineyard. Primum 2022 Following the successful launch of the Primum 2021, Simon Riquiere bottled the second vintage of this still white wine in June. The Primum 2022 is the result of the second harvest of the Chardonnay, Auxerrois, and Pinot Blanc vines that Simon Riquiere and Joke Lemenu planted on the flanks of the Rodeberg in 2020. This one won a silver medal at the Best Belgian Wines 2023 competition. Sauvignon Blanc With its Sauvignon Blanc, Roonen Bergh has an absolute first, as it is the very first Heuvelland Sauvignon Blanc. This typical Loire grape requires quite a lot of sun to ripen well. That is why this grape variety is not often grown in our region. This harvest comes from a test plot and delivers top quality.
