After the planting of the test vineyards, Peter Vandamme was able to get to work in the Heuvelland PDO area in 2009. The plot of approximately 1 hectare is situated at the foot of the Rodeberg and has a steep slope. The soil consists partly of clay, loam, and iron sandstone, ideal for viticulture. Fungus-resistant varieties were chosen: Regent, Cabernet Cortis, and recently also Souvignier Gris. At the 'Klein Rijselhoek' vineyard, a kestrel lives in a specially adapted nest box. Such a permanent resident protects the vines against rodents that target the trunks and roots. It also keeps overly greedy birds eager for the ripe grapes at a safe distance. All the above-mentioned measures make environmentally friendly and sustainable viticulture possible.
