Question: With global warming what is happening with grape growing in Scandinavia?
Answer: That is a very broad ever expanding difficult question to answer here. In general we see lots of encouraging new vineyards that previously didn’t receive enough heat to fully ripen the grapes that are now thriving. Your scribe experienced recently a couple of interesting Scandinavia wines. A fav restaurant of mine in Paris highly recommended is Les 110 de Taillevent on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore. They now have a Danish Funen Island organic Stokkebye pinot noir on their Wine List. Also listed at the star restaurant Geranium in Copenhagen. How is that for credibility! Secondly, just tasted from Sweden blind a 2021 Doman Sanana Sparkling wine Brut Nature Methode Traditionnelle disgorged on 240706. See the label here. The back label noted that the “microclimate for the wine map of the world has changed” and since they started in 1994 have tested over 54 different grape varieties. This one is using Solaris, Souvignier Gris, and Muscaris. It showed green apples, citrus and baked bread and I guessed a Sparkling Muscat from England. Not so different. Check out some of these new Scandinavia wines.
