Ästad Vingård

At Ästad Vineyard, we grow organic grapes and make our own wines. The grapes are grown at an inland vineyard in Ästad and a coastal vineyard in Morup. We use the majority of the harvest to make sparkling wine, using the traditional method with a second fermentation in the bottle.
SOLARIS, PINOT NOIR, AND CHARDONNAY
The grape we grow is called Solaris. A green grape that thrives in our northern climate and often provides the high acidity we need for our sparkling wine. In 2011, we planted the first vines, and today we have approximately 30,000 vines spread across an inland vineyard and a coastal vineyard. Out on the coast, we’re also conducting some experiments with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
PENGAKULLEN, INLAND VINEYARD
For several decades, wheat and vegetables were grown in Pengakullen’s rich soil. But since 2011, 14,000 Solaris vines have been planted here. Compared to the coastal vineyard in Morup, Pengakullen has a significantly harsher climate to contend with. But the cool summers mean the grapes often develop high acidity and delicate green notes in their flavor.
MORUP, COASTAL VINEYARD
Twenty minutes from Ästad lies our coastal vineyard in Morup. Here, the sea helps warm the surroundings, and the vineyard is situated on an old seabed. In Morup, there are 14,000 Solaris vines, as well as a few rows of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
