The “De Colonies” vineyard is located in the municipality of Hilvarenbeek, North Brabant, surrounded by nature reserves and estates. The vineyard is managed organically, without chemical pesticides, by Wil Hendrikx. Wil lives in Diessen, in the municipality of Hilvarenbeek, and started his vineyard in 2012.
He has approximately 500 vines on SO4 rootstocks (resistant varieties), which he tends with love and joy.
The seven different grape varieties (red and white) are harvested in late September.
The red and white wines have a fruity aroma with a delightful finish. Each vine produces about one bottle of wine. All work is done by hand: pruning, trellising, leaf removal, and harvesting.
Wil is a member of the Brabant Winegrowers Association, where he has taken various courses.
Since 2018, he has had his grapes processed and bottled at the Dassemus vineyard in Chaam.
