Domein Holset
Our rating: 7/10
A well-integrated sparkling wine with a soft mouth feeling and creamy mousse. In the nose and taste it shows fruity and vegetal characteristics: green apples, citrus, a small bitterness of mandarin peel with some hints of toast and white pepper. A nice aperitif!

St Martinus
Our rating: 8.5/10
This very special wine is a blend from three years (2016, 2017 and 2018). With 3 years of ageing in wooden barrels it has a firm bite and strong character. It took us a while to define the quite typical aroma characteristics of beetroot and green asparagus in the wine! These vegetal aromas are combined with the scents and flavors of black currants, black cherries and green herbs. Since the taste is very pronounced, we think this is a real food-pairing wine. Combine it with deer back, old goat cheese or boeuf bourguignon, and you will forget about your sins :)

St Martinus
Our rating: 8/10
The wine is well made with an atypical character for a Dutch wine. A lot of ripe fruit and hints of roses, combined with secondary aromas like cedar wood, leather and some black olives. An exciting blend with a good bite! Since the cedar wood is not yet completely integrated, we expect the wine will improve by a few years of further ageing.

St Martinus
Our rating: 8/10
A smooth red wine, juicy and with a very broad aroma palate. A lot of black, ripe forest fruit, combined with sweet spices and some cedar wood. The wine is well made and, like many wines of this vineyard, has a character that is not typical for Dutch wines but resembles classical southern European wines.

Domein Tussen Rug en Rijn
Our rating: 7.5/10
A well made orange wine! Quite aromatic with aromas of dried fruits and potpourri, orange peel, citrus and some vegetal notes. In the mouth also some fresh minerality and a small bitterness at the end. The wine is still a bit young, as the flavors are still not fully integrated with each other. But the wine has a lot of potential to age. Already good to drink now, but can improve by 2-3 years of bottle ageing.

Middeldorp
Our rating: 7/10
A nicely made, smooth and fruity wine with a broad aroma and flavor palate. A lot of red fruit, combined with some leather and animal tones as well as spices. It is still a bit young; the different flavors are not yet completely integrated and the alcohol can be a bit sharp. A year of development in the bottle will improve and mature the wine.
