“Even experienced wine critics tell us they have to re-evaluate their relationship to northernly grown red wines.”
Slinde Vineyard have been producing since 2015 and experimenting with different wines trying to find what works best for the ground and climate. So far, many of their efforts have produced excellent results.
Slinde Vineyard, located in the Sognefjord, Norway -
created from a dream by two hard workers - Bjørn & Halldis.
Bjørn`s dream has for a long time been to create a wine from locally grown grapes in the Sognefjord, Norway - 61.1 degrees north - as far north as sourthern Greenland or Anchorage in Alaska.
In 2014 Bjørn`s partner, Halldis, told him to just go ahead and do it - and she would help Bjørn make it happen.
Since 2014 they have been hard at work - creating what has become the northern most commercial vineyard in the world. Bjørn and Halldis have done it without using any machinery and by only growing organically.
Slinde Vineyard have already won several gold medals in blind wine tasting competitions with acclaimed wine critics on the panel.
It is cold at night and hot during the day in our summers and it is light outside almost 24 hours. We therefore have the perfect climate to make unique wines - as long as we ripen the grapes.
