{"title":"Holland","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Netherlands is one of Europe's youngest wine countries, and one of its most quietly exciting. This is cool-climate territory: crisp, aromatic whites and fine traditional-method sparkling, grown mostly on the rolling limestone slopes of southern Limburg. Alongside the wine sits a far older Dutch craft, the juniper spirit genever that went on to give the world gin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCool-climate Dutch whites and sparkling from Limburg\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern Dutch wine really began in the 1970s and has grown quickly, from a handful of estates to well over a hundred today. The heart of it is southern Limburg, around Maastricht, where loess, flint and marl soils and a slightly warmer pocket of climate suit the vine. Pioneers like Apostelhoeve work with Riesling, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris and Müller-Thurgau, while larger estates such as Wijngaard St. Martinus lean on hardy, disease-resistant varieties: Solaris, Souvignier Gris, Johanniter and Pinotin. The wines tend to be bright and moderate in alcohol, which is why our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/white-wine\"\u003eDutch and cool-climate whites\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sparkling-wine\"\u003etraditional-method sparkling\u003c\/a\u003e are the natural place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGenever, the Dutch spirit behind gin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong before the vines arrived, the Low Countries were distilling. Genever, or jenever, is a juniper spirit built on malt wine, and the town of Schiedam near Rotterdam was its historic capital. It comes in three main styles: jonge is lighter and more mixable, oude carries more malt-wine richness with a grainy, whisky-like backbone, and korenwijn is the fullest and most traditional of all. Genever is the direct ancestor of London dry gin, so if you like a good botanical spirit it is worth tasting the original. Dutch red is still a smaller story, with lighter bottles from Pinot Noir, Rondo and Pinotin, but they are worth a look in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/red-wine\"\u003ered wine\u003c\/a\u003e selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDutch wine and genever FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Dutch wine any good?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncreasingly, yes. The best Limburg estates make genuinely fine aromatic whites and traditional-method sparkling.
