Story: When planting this vineyard, a massive drilling machine was a great help of us, since most of the soil is hard, rocky and some of the vines had to be chiselled into the rocky soil literally. Fortunately the plants have survived. Due to the terroir, the wines feature some mireal character even at young age. Wines made of this vineyard have long ageing potential.

Sugar / Alcohol / Acidity:  Dry / 6.1 g/l / 14.0 % / 5.7 g /l

Technology:
– Fermentation at controlled, low temperature (starting with 6 °C and closing with 15 °C).

Story:  The labels are designed by one of the owners, Christer Sandahl, and he introduces a new, unique concept year by year, the labels are never repeated. Labels of vintage 2015 are created to express the aromas and flavours during bottling. When Wet stones 2015 was bottled, it reminded us of wet basalt stones indeed. In 2015 high quality botrytis appeared in some of our vineyards, thus our winemaker did not remove the botrytised berries, they add another shade to the colour of this wine.

Imported to: Sweden, Italy
