Eburon
After a long career in the international wine industry in Australia, California, and Eastern Europe, a dream became reality. Some time later, Paul Molleman and Marco Tiggelman founded their own wine estate, located in Belgium’s oldest city, Tongeren. 2,000 years ago, this was the only Roman administrative capital within our borders. The first vineyards were carefully selected based on location and soil structure and were planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Additional vineyards followed, and by 2025, the estate is expected to encompass around 3 hectares of vineyards. The subsoil, rich in silex—a mix of clay, limestone, and silica—gives the wines exceptional minerality. At Eburon Estate, top-quality wines are crafted from grapes such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Auxerrois. While the estate firmly believes that the quality of the wine is primarily determined by the quality of the grapes, only the best equipment and facilities are used in the winery. The ultimate goal is to produce the finest wines that the terroir can offer.

Wijngoed Monteberg
In 1996 Jean-Pierre Six created Wijngoed Monteberg. A site on the southern flank of the Monteberg (which is actually the other side of the famous Kemmelberg), 600 vines and a good dose of spice: these three ingredients formed the basis of what was a daring experiment on Heuvelland soil. However, Jean-Pierre soon got a taste for viticulture and continued to focus on his passion. “A project has to mature like a good wine!” said the winegrower, and the pioneering work thus became his life's work. From meritorious and sympathetic to craftsmanship and quality product… Over the years, gigantic steps have been taken to achieve a respectful wine estate. Jean-Pierre has meanwhile passed on the torch of Wijngoed Monteberg to a new generation. Edward and Katrien, who have been writing this authentic family story for years, are expanding their father's project with heart and soul. While Belgian viticulture was still a laughing stock 20 years ago, our sommeliers are finally discovering the potential of what is possible in our low countries... And it can only get better!
