Roonen Bergh Primum 2022

On the slopes of the Rodeberg, in the heart of the rolling Heuvelland hills, lies the Roonen Bergh wine estate.
The unique combination of loam and iron-rich sandstone soils, a sheltered location and the cool influence of the North Sea create the ideal conditions for crafting refined, terroir-driven wines. With a focus on classic grape varieties and artisanal vinification, the estate contributes to the rise of high-quality Belgian wine.

Primum is the estate’s signature white cuvée. It is a carefully selected blend of auxerrois, pinot blanc and chardonnay, each harvested at optimal ripeness. The grapes are picked by hand. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by a short maturation on fine lees.

In the glass, Primum shows a bright, pale yellow colour. The nose reveals delicate aromas of ripe pear, citrus, white blossoms and a subtle herbal note.

On the palate, the wine is smooth and rounded, with fresh acidity that adds liveliness and tension. The blend offers a balanced profile: juicy, elegant and supported by a fine mineral backbone.
