Description
Why? This is not Champagne, although our wines can rival it. This is an artisanal winegrower, and therefore not a multinational with ample resources and a marketing machine, but still full of innovative ideas. How can you stand out as a small wine grower? What makes our region so world-famous and envied all over the world? That’s right, our beers. World top year after year. And they are made with the finest hop cones in the world. And if we were to combine award-winning wine with hops, wouldn’t that bring out the best of the region? A new regional product? A long search for the right balance, the right hop variety, all parameters fine-tuned. The result: Steenstraetse Hoppewijn®. Sparkling wine enriched with hop cones. The nose of hops, the taste and freshness of an elegant sparkling wine, a surprising combination without equal in the world. 75cl, 12.5% vol.
