Neuve-Eglise Estate

At the beginning of May 2016, a new vineyard appeared in Nieuwkerke. On half a hectare of ground on the slopes to the south of the village, Frederik Debruyne has planted some 2.050 vines of the varieties Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. In the near future, he hopes to make red, white, rosé and sparkling wines, the proportions of which will be determined each year by the weather. By sensibly seeking to work in harmony with nature and by opting for low-yield methods, Frederik has made a deliberate choice for quality over quantity. The first white wines are expected in 2019; the first red ones in 2020.
