Sweden is emerging as an unexpected cool-climate wine country, with around 50 commercial vineyards and southern Sweden, particularly Skåne, at the heart of the developing industry.
Solaris leads the way, alongside PIWI varieties such as Souvignier Gris, Muscaris, Donauriesling and Cabernet Cortis, while Rondo, Pinot Nova and Regent are among the red grapes being explored.
With long summer daylight, cool nights and a changing climate, Sweden is developing its own wine identity around fresh, high-acid wines, while experimenting with classic varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
