Gelderland

Gelderland, located in the eastern Netherlands, is a well-established wine region, although smaller in scale compared to some others in the country. The cool climate and sandy soils favor the production of white grape varietals, though some wineries are successfully producing red wines as well.

The main grape varieties grown in Gelderland are Johanniter, Solaris, and Regent. These grapes are used to produce white wines, including dry and off-dry styles. The wines are typically light-bodied and crisp, with flavors of citrus and green apple.

Gelderland's winemaking history dates back to Roman times. Its fertile river valleys and gentle slopes foster a burgeoning wine culture, with Dutch winemakers exploring classic grape varieties like Pinot Noir and Müller-Thurgau, rooted in the region's rich heritage.
