The Bornholm region, although unconventional for winemaking, is emerging as a rising star of Nordic wine. Situated off the coast of the Baltic Sea, this unique Danish island enjoys a favourable microclimate, thanks to its sunny summers and mild winters. This temperate climate allows the cultivation of cold-resistant grape varieties, such as Solaris and Rondo, which thrive in its sandy and clay soils. The winemakers of Bornholm embrace the philosophy of sustainable and organic wine, innovating with modern viticultural techniques to produce fresh white wines, delicate rosés, and light reds, characterised by bright acidity and fruity aromas. The local wine community, small-scale and artisanal, focuses on quality and authenticity, thus offering a refreshing perspective on Scandinavian winemaking tradition. For novice or seasoned wine enthusiasts, Bornholm represents an intriguing sensory journey, capturing the essence of Danish terroir with originality and passion. As such, this region is slowly but surely positioning itself as a must-visit for wine enthusiasts seeking discovery and novelty on the international scene.
