A sweet dessert wine with vibrant acidity and a pronounced character of dark berries. The wine is fermented to the highest alcohol level tolerated by the native wild yeast.
Øvre Ellingsrud Gård lies along the historic Pilgrim’s Route crossing Hadeland towards Nidaros. The steep ascent to the farm makes this wine a fitting “comfort for the pilgrim” — both in name and in spirit.
