fREDERIKSDAL Cherrywine 2009Our fine ‘standard' dessert wine, produced from the grand old Danish cherry varietal Stevnsbær, entirely harvested at Frederiksdal Manor.
The Frederiksdal estate lies on the westernmost tip of the island of Lolland, next to the waters of the Langelandsbæltet strait, one of the sunniest and driest regions of Denmark. It's a place absolutely perfect for the cultivation of cherries.
Like a vintage port, our Kirsebærvin sees no daylight until it's bottled, directly from the vat.
The wine's excellent paired with strong cheeses, cocoa-rich chocolate desserts, intense mousses of rum or vanilla, nuts, figs, candied fruits or the Danish classic risalamande - rice pudding with almonds.
Unfiltered. Alcohol: 16.5%
The 2009 vintage has received the following praise:
Cherry wine, enhanced version—like nothing you've seen before. 89/100 points … of pre-eminent quality ... Creamy and round in style Wonderfully focussed, forcefully alcoholic, seductive in its sweetness and yet superabundantly full ... One is simply drawn to the edge of the glass.
