The French term ‘sur lie’ means that wine is left to rest on its sediment, or residual yeast particles, for an extended period.
The method of allowing wine to be in contact with the spent yeast is primarily one used in the French province of Champagne. It produces a richer and deeper tasting wine.
Our Sur Lie is aged in French oak barrels and is the result of an amalgamation of 2-3 different vintages.
The amalgamation of mature and young vintages lends this wine a further degree of complexity: the younger vintages provide fresh and subtle fruity notes, while the mature ones provide more complex tones.
Frederiksdal cherry wine is world class Danish wine. The wine has received awards and excellent reviews way beyond those previously seen for a Danish wine made from unique Stevns cherry – the Nordic grape.
Frederiksdal cherry wine is produced entirely from cherries grown in Frederiksdal’s own orchards.
This Danish vineyard is the first in the world to produce quality wines from cherries based on the same wine-making principles as used over the centuries where wines are stored in oak barrels. The only difference is that the old traditions have been given a fresh interpretation and new life.
Frederiksdal cherry wine offers a wider horizon and real treats for the tastebuds. That’s what makes Frederiksdal cherry wine something very special!
