Andersen Winery Elmsfeuer Rhubarb 2024

Andersen Winery Elmsfeuer 2024 is an elegant sparkling rhubarb wine that combines Nordic ingredients with classic craftsmanship. Made from the aromatic Elmsfeuer rhubarb variety, the wine offers a lively freshness, fine bubbles, and a harmonious balance between fruit and acidity. The result is a sparkling wine with plenty of character and a unique Danish expression.

The rhubarb is grown under the unique Nordic climate, where cool nights and long, bright summer days allow for slow ripening. This develops an intense aroma and natural acidity, which help make Elmsfeuer an exceptionally elegant sparkling wine. The must is fermented at a low temperature together with the pulp to extract as much flavor and complexity as possible before the wine undergoes its traditional secondary fermentation in the bottle.

After bottle fermentation, Elmsfeuer is aged for at least nine months, resulting in fine, persistent bubbles and a lovely creamy texture. Its semi-dry style makes the wine fresh and inviting, with a perfect balance between crisp rhubarb fruit and elegant acidity.

Elmsfeuer 2024 is an excellent aperitif and pairs perfectly with summer salads, tender vegetables, green asparagus, fjord shrimp, langoustines, air-dried ham, tapas, or creamy goat cheese. Serve well chilled.
