During our trip to Denmark, we knew we had to pick up some Danish wines to bring home.
Now, you may be thinking, isn't that quite far north for wine production? The answer is yes, Denmark very much is in the extreme in terms of climate, especially as far as grapes are concerned.
But recently, PiWi grapes are becoming quite popular to grow in these climates, as they are hybrid grapes bred for their disease resistance, which is critical in cool/wet climates. As such, this presented a good opportunity for us to try some new-to-us grapes, which for this boddle of Lindely Vingard's H..Vid was a blend of Solaris, Merzling, and Johanniter!
Although this one was somewhat simple, and admittedly had a somewhat off-putting aroma, it certainly gives us hope that wine production can extend out to areas outside of the normal conventional standards!
