Appellation Skåne

Located in the south of Sweden, the Skåne appellation is gradually making its mark on the international wine scene. Although Sweden is not traditionally known for its wine production, climate and viticultural innovations have enabled regions like Skåne to start producing quality wines. With a climate moderated by proximity to the Baltic Sea, this region enjoys a long summer with sunny days that favour grape ripening. Skåne's winemakers primarily grow cold-resistant grape varieties such as Solaris, Rondo, and Pinot Noir, which thrive on the region's clay-limestone soils. Skåne wines are often characterised by their great freshness, lively nature, and floral and fruity aromas. Ongoing efforts to improve winemaking and production techniques are contributing to the rise of this emerging appellation. As a wine enthusiast or cellar manager, keeping track of the development of Skåne wines can offer a fresh perspective on the diversity and innovation present in today’s wine world.
