Norskvin White
The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.
There was a time when Germany was considered a cool climate.
The 50th-degree latitude was the northernmost barrier for viticulture, and it runs through the Rheingau region in the southern half of Germany.
As temperatures increased official wine-growing regions were developed north of the Rheingau in Germany - namely for example Saale Unstrut and Sachsen - but even those vineyards do not represent the northernmost frontiers of the wine world.
Northern Europe might be the next big thing as sparkling wine from the UK has performed well on this channel for instance. There are winemakers in Nordic countries making wines looking at how far they can push the traditional boundaries of viticulture. So let’s find out whether the North of Europe has more to offer than Akvavit, mead, and beer.
The Netherlands or Holland, is a trading nation and was a major player in the wine and spirit trade. They were also tasked with draining the swampy Médoc, creating space to grow grapes. As they were importing and exporting wine they also tried their hand in winemaking to less success.
According to the Oxford Companion, the new wave of Dutch producers started in 1967 when Frits Bosch created his Slavante vineyard of just 800 sq m. There are more than a hundred producers in the Netherlands today working with grape varieties like Riesling and Müller-Thurgau, Auxerrois.

Konstatin, if you re-visit Danish wine, please please try Njord winery and their Precoce Pinot Noirs! Had em twice now and they are EXCELLENT but quite pricy. First time was blind and the nose was amazing - Not even being "nice to it" cause it came from a new region, just plain good, compared to say US/Bourg Pinots.

Hi Konstantin, great to see you included a Dutch bubble. Although one of the oldest in The Netherlands, I would argue that the ‘Kleine Schorre’ winery offers substantially better quality. Especially the rivaner and auxerrois. Would be great to see you review those too!

A shame you didnt do a tasting with the winemaker Njord - super hyped and amazing producer of Pinot Noir in Denmark. Above and beyond our best winemaker here in Denmark, Lindely is also really nice where they specify in sparkling wines but in order to make profits sustainable they produce throughout the year, as they have Eiswein as well, which is super good.

Do Siwtzerland next. They produce some true gems, but are smart enough to keep them for themselves and not export (or only export what they do not drink themselves). Or, my native country Belgium: Clos d'Opleeuw especially is a Chardonnay that can rival with the better Bourgognes. They also have a small Pinot Noir production, which is surprisingly good.

I grew up near de Apostelhoeve, even having to run past their vines during track & field in high school, so it has a special place in my heart. Just saying, I might be a bit biased here. But in my humble opinion their "normal", non-sparkling Cuvee XII (which has an orange label) is quite a lot better. This still wine also sells out really quickly, so it might be that the specs of that wine and this sparkling variant have been mixed up somewhere. And indeed, their other still wines are also better, as other people have noted. So please do give them another chance if you have the opportunity!

I have actually tried a Dutch wine while on holiday in the Netherlands. Sort of - it's 50% Sylvaner grapes and 50% apples, a Cecider by Wijngaard Dassemus. It was highly intriguing and I warmed to it as the sample progressed. It felt quite accurately like both wine and cider. I did see the Apostelhoeve Riesling on a wine bar's menu in Amsterdam, but I would have been going to that bar exclusively for that wine, and we didn't have time to include it.

Cool! You have the Apostelhoeve Brut in the tasting! That certainly has the reputation to be the best Dutch wine. I like their wines, although they're not a real match against the original. Their riesling e.g. is nice, but can't compete with a good German riesling. You may want to try Kleine Schorre, from Zeeland, or Domein de Wijngaardsberg, also from Limburg, as well. Nothing truly spectacular, but not half bad either.

Even though I'm from Denmark, I haven't tasted that much wine from here. However, I have bought a handful of wines with bubbles from "Stokkebye Vingård (Vingård = Wine yard). Both wines are brewed in the traditional (Champagne) method. One is brewed exclusively with Pinot Noir grapes, while the other is brewed with Johanniter and L'Acadie Blanc. The bottles are a bit expensive compared to what you can get for 55 Euros out there. But it has been interesting to taste them, to see how far away (or close) we are to the rest of the world, who are making good wine.

A good friend of mine has a winery on the south east coast of Sweden called Stora Horn. Their mentors and good friends are Weingut Peter Kriechel from the Ahr valley. Would definitely recommend to check their Pinot Madeleine out (not allowed to be called Frühburgunder). Best Red in Sweden if you ask me (yes I am biased but it is actually really good). If you want to taste more Orange Solaris check out Klagshamn. The winery is located in the outskirts of Malmö.

I am planting a wine/fruit arboretum with some 90 different grapevines, with most of the winegrapes known. I am in Hardenberg on the border with Germany and gardener from profession and a fruitjuice makers ancestry. I made good wine (1980) in the hills of Jerusalem from Sauvignon Blanc vines that were planted early 1900's. We have two winemakers and a beer company in our municipality. My purpose is to introduce the various grape varietals to the local population and to wine societies in the Netherlands. I am just on 130 square meter of garden, so a mini fruit arboretum is all that I can manage. I have a 'zimmerfrei' for inviting guests when I have something to offer to winelovers. Future wine may be produced as a natural wine. I already produced small amounts of grape fruitjuice (Glenora and Aurore) and raisins from Glenora. I do vertical training of my grapevines into my other fruittrees. In your video you discovered that Northern wines can fix 90 points, in spite of your expectation. I hope to discover that inspite of the riverdelta Vecht circumstances, the Netherlands may produce good grapejuice, good raisins, good grapejam and good red and white wine. Southern Europe is uprooting its vineyards. The Netherlands now has the climate of the Champagne region of yesteryears. I may never produce a 'great wine', but I may produce surprising wines and other grape products. Having studied the mistakes of the wine industry, my purpose is to discover the truth about growing and making of wine.

well, even in Moscow region (!!!) in Russia, which is quite northern and eastern located (meaning its cool climate and not sunny) they started several vineries growing vines on the south side of the Moscow region. Previosly - wine making was never higher geografically in Russia, then Samara region, in the middle Volga-river zone, which is pretty hot during summer (though might be very cold and windy at winter). But all that northern wineries in Russia are using sheltered winemaking, covering vines by some material for the whole winter to protect from frosts.

@stanvanillo9831 A smaller range of numbers means a more blunt grading and most people prefer 78 points instead of 7,8. And the estetics of let’s say a scale from 1-40 isn’t very pleasing. There is just no better scale in my opinion.

I kinda agree, i think the rating system is the way it is because wine is expected to be at least somewhat delicious. 50 or less points would mean that sth tastes bad, which wine shouldn't.

I'm gonna be pissed if the Danish wine gets scored higher than the Swedish.

We have a longer history than Sweden with wine… in time both will make fantastic wines. Until then, rage quit and eat more knækbrød wine 😅

I'm from Denmark. Danish wines are of course much better than Swedish. 😂. Some is actually quite good but they are way overpriced.

The Swedish ryebread is quite sweet. I think the Danish is better though I rarely eat bread.

Sweden is not that expensive nowadays ... The list of the 8 most expensive countries worldwide includes Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Japan, Denmark, Bahamas, Luxembourg, and Israel. These countries stand out for their high cost of living, accommodation, groceries, dining out, and purchasing power.
