Skogsbryn 2023

Description

Swedish for “Edge of the forest”.

A universe between two worlds. Filled with life, light and activity.

Forest creatures stepping out of the well known, hidden and safe, into a new world. A world where the sun’s rays reach the ground, opening them up to the world of light. Elevated. Waking up, getting exposed to their new form of existence.

50% Rondo
25% Cabernet Cortis
25% Solaris

• The red grapes have been through a whole-bunch maceration for 9-14 days.
• The whites were directly pressed.
• Fermented separately and rested on their lees for 10 months before blended together.
• 75% aged in oak barrique and 25% stainless steel tank.

Nothing is added in the winemaking process and only the naturally occurring yeasts are used.

Bottled in July -24 with a microdose of sulphur, (10mg/l) to ensure a safe transition between tank and consumer.

Grapes from 15 year old vines planted in Södra Mellby, Österlen.
Vines have never seen any chemical treatment or fertilizers. Our work in the vines is to encourage biodiversity and the holistic balance of the vineyard by increasing organic matter and promoting microbial activity. Fertilizers are always naturally sourced from local highland cattle cows, brown algae, compost teas etc.

REVIEWS

Wonderful bright nose is reductive in a nice way. Bright raspberry and cherry fruit with lovely spicy detail. Raspberry and cherry fruit with a bit of silkiness. So expressive. 94/100
– Jamie Goode (Wineanorak)

Lovely, light peppery note of reduction (in a good way). Peppery black fruit. Juicy, tight, utterly refreshing. Notes of pine, cedar and rosemary.
