Wine making has a very young tradition in Sweden (ca 20 years) but there are currently 5000 smaller vineyards in Sweden and the number increases steadily.
The grape that has proven most successful is Solaris, which actually does better in cold, nordic climates than in warm, Italian soil.
It takes four years before the first wine can be produced. During the first three years, the grapes are cut as soon as they appear to give all strength to the vine itself.
Our aspiration is to produce both white and rosé wine, desert wine, and sparkling wine.
Swedish wine can only be sold through the alcohol monopoly (Systembolaget) or directly to restaurants. The ambition for Petters Gård is to have a commercial wine by 2019.
