This rosé was born by chance. When we received more kilos of gamay grapes on September 7th, the winery wasn’t yet completed. The juice from the grapes was collected without any pressing, resulting in a beautiful free-run juice. As the stainless steel tanks quickly filled up, there was no room for the juice, leading to a short period of skin contact, which gave the rosé its lovely color. We blended the gamay and moscatel and fermented and aged them in stainless steel tanks. Except for a small amount of added sulfites to prevent unwanted microorganisms, our organic wine yeast, and an organic component to prevent bacteria on the muscatel, this wine is made only with grape juice. Afterward, we used a cellulose filter to clarify the wine.
Our Fathers line is characterised by a classical approach and traditional methods. Here all wines are monocépages; each wine is made from just one specific grape variety, resulting in complex and character-driven wines with a true expression of each grape, always with that urban twist and signature that makes it a Chateau Amsterdam wine.
The world of wine is one of tradition – full of rules, dogmas and century-old etiquette. In our Sons-line, we choose to break with this. Our Sons-wines are allowed to surprise and are often manufactured with unconventional techniques. Here you will find our orange wines, wines made in amphorae, pet nats and other interesting winks.
Our Grandsons are easy and light-hearted European blends. Two different grapes from two different countries are mixed together in one and the same bottle. The blends are chosen together with our customers, head winemaker and partner farmers, to create new, exciting profiles with popular grapes that you can’t find anywhere else.
