Bognæs Vingaard KAOS 2023 – Danish white wine from Tuse Næs

KAOS 2023 from Bognæs Vingaard is Danish wine at its most uncompromising, vibrant and ambitious. A powerful white wine with depth, complexity and distinct personality – created at Tuse Næs, where nature, climate and craftsmanship come together. This wine is for those looking for something unique, authentic and far from the predictable.

KAOS is not just a name, but an expression of the wine’s free and natural style. It’s a wine that challenges expectations of Danish white wine and shows how high the level can be when passion and terroir are allowed to speak freely.

Detailed description

Vintage 2023 is made from 100% Solaris grapes harvested late on October 8th to achieve maximum ripeness, concentration and natural richness. The grapes come exclusively from Bognæs Vingaard’s own fields and are hand-picked with great care.

The wine is spontaneously fermented without the addition of cultured yeast and then aged for 9 months in French oak barrels. The barrel aging adds structure, depth and a slightly spicy complexity without overpowering the fruit and natural freshness of the grape. The result is a wine with both power and elegance – perfect with food or as a wine experience in itself.

Tasting notes

On the nose, you’re met with ripe yellow fruits, baked apple, pear and citrus, combined with floral notes and a subtle touch of vanilla and nuts from the barrel. The palate is rich and concentrated with notes of stone fruit, light tropical fruit and a mineral nerve that provides balance and length. The finish is long, structured and slightly creamy with an elegant acidity that keeps the wine vibrant and supple.

The history of the house

Bognæs Vingaard is located in the hilly and scenic landscape of Tuse Næs on Zealand. Laura and Kristian created their vineyard with a clear vision: to make honest, natural wines with a clear imprint of Danish terroir. They work exclusively with their own grapes, cultivate with great respect for nature and use no artificial additives.

Everything is harvested by hand, the wines are spontaneously fermented, and each vintage is allowed to develop on its own terms. KAOS 2023 is clear proof of their philosophy – a wine with soul, edge and a strong story of place and people.
