The Evolution of the Blend
Every year, the climate in South France shapes our wine. Here is how our blends have rolled through the seasons.
2024: The Sun-Drenched Harvest
An exceptionally warm spring led to early maturation. This year's Bryggevin is notably more aromatic with hints of tropical fruit, while Bålvin carries deeper, jammy notes due to the concentrated sugars.
Avg Temp: 24°C Rainfall: Low Harvest: Late August
2023: Balanced & Crisp
A milder summer provided a longer growing season, resulting in higher acidity. Skjærgårdsvin was the star of this vintage, offering a mineral-forward profile that perfectly complemented the Norwegian seafood season.
Avg Temp: 21°C Rainfall: Moderate Harvest: Mid September
2022: Intense & Earthy
A vintage marked by dry conditions, creating small, flavorful grapes. Bålvin reached new heights of complexity this year, with strong tannins and a smoky finish that made it the ultimate winter companion.
Avg Temp: 23°C Rainfall: Very Low Harvest: Early September

The Sensory Experience
A technical breakdown of what to expect in every pour.
Aroma Profile
Bryggevin opens with lemon zest and white peach. Skjærgårdsvin offers wild strawberry and sea spray. Bålvin delivers smoke and dark plum.
Palate & Body
Light to medium body across the range. High acidity in whites for freshness; velvety tannins in the red for a smooth campfire sip.
Finish
Clean, lingering finishes. Bryggevin leaves a salty mineral touch; Bålvin concludes with a warm, spicy oak resonance.
Serving Temp
Bryggevin: 8-10°C. Skjærgårdsvin: 10-12°C. Bålvin: 16-18°C. Always allow the red to breathe for 20 minutes.
Glassware
Use a tulip-shaped glass for whites to concentrate aromatics, and a wider bowl for Bålvin to allow oxygen interaction.
Cellaring
Designed for immediate enjoyment. However, Bålvin can be cellared for up to 3 years to develop deeper tertiary notes.
Loved by the North
"Bryggevin is the taste of a Norwegian summer. It's refreshing, light, and perfectly captures that seaside feeling."
