Kastel Berlare

Kastel Berlare is a defunct Brunanter winery. Kastel Berlare was started in 1780 as Berlarehuis' wine and second production (after olives). Owned by the Neyt family, this became one of the better-known wineries. By the 1800s they were known as the "wine of kings", since Adrian II and Ambroos I were known for drinking this wine. In 1828 they became Royal Purveyors to Cristian I, and subsequently to Johan I, Pieter II and Johan II. The castle's wine production ground to a halt in 1941 and after the war commercial exploitation of Berlarehuis was not continued. The most famous vintages are the 1796, 1920 and 1933. Vintages like the 1920 can go for 25-28,000 € at auction.
