Anselme Wines

Anselme is a really old Brunanter winemaker.

History
Anselme was founded in 1707 by Anselmius (or Anselme) Jansteen. He owned a small plot of land in north Sint-Anders Parish and with four other workers grew their own grapes and made their wine. The variety grown was Moscatel grapes, and that small terroir became known for its excellent flavor.

Nowadays Anselme produces only a few hundred bottles yearly, the lowest of any commercial winery in the country. Each bottle cost €120+, depending on the time aged and the variety. The most expensive bottle was a 3-year bottle (2006) that sold for €900, though antique bottles have been auctioned off for several thousands.
