Our vintages
Made from grapes, nothing else.
About Wijngaard Lijsternest
Our process is not a marketing tool, it is based on a true understanding of biology. Biology does not fool around, it simply does what it does. Our job consists of providing the right environment in order for the vine to be able to thrive with the least possible intervention. Healthy vines and a complex wine is the result of a complex soil and to obtain a complex soil we need less intervention rather than more. With every soil disturbance, there is more disease pressure
No additives
Just grapes.
No filtration
Naturally unfiltered.
No pesticides
Gently made.

Sustainable viticulture, rooted in biodiversity
Canopy management by hand to keep air flowing.
We need no green harvest due to natural competition with our permanent cover crops, hedgerows and lots of wildflowers.
