Recommendation from them to you
One of their recommendations is the Apostelhoeve Cuvée XII, from the oldest and most renowned vineyard in the Netherlands, located on the picturesque Louwberg in Maastricht. The Apostelhoeve has been producing top-quality wines since 1970 and owes its success to its unique terroir of marl, loess and gravel. The Cuvée XII is a sophisticated blend of Müller-Thurgau, Auxerrois and Pinot Gris, with notes of peach, apricot and lime, and a fresh, mineral finish. Perfect with asparagus, fish dishes or light pasta. Enjoy this piece of Maastricht in your glass!
