Roman wine from our own soil

It’s a bit of a climb up the slope, but once at the top you can enjoy that ultimate, non-Dutch feeling evoked by the Limburg hills – along with a fine glass of local wine.

It was the Soomers-Wiertz family who, in 1991, decided to revive viticulture at this spot and founded Wijngoed Fromberg. They planted the first vines on the Fromberg. Their ambition: to raise South Limburg wine to the level of wines with their own designation, equal to other classified European wines. The result: fine, honest wines that pass every test with ease, eagerly embraced by restaurants and much loved by enthusiasts.

That Limburg’s soil is ideally suited for producing good wine was discovered by the Romans some two thousand years ago. They planted their first vines here. The sunny hills, the poor limestone soil, and the slightly warmer temperatures turned out to be the perfect ingredients for viticulture in South Limburg. You can still taste that Roman past today in the special selection of Roman wines.
