About the winemaker:

The Kleine Schorre is located in Schouwen-Duivenland, Zeeland.
The sea breeze gives the wines a light mineral/salty note. The sunny location in the Netherlands allows the grapes to ripen well and the maritime climate protects them somewhat better against frost.

Originally, other types of fruit were grown on the estate of Kleine Schorre, but when the last generation, Johan Van der Velde, took over from his father, the focus shifted to grape cultivation. This has worked out so well that they are now one of the largest winemakers in the Netherlands with 14 hectares and have the complete focus on grape cultivation and winemaking.
The classic grape varieties Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Rivaner are planted on the chalky soil.
