2022 Njord Sandhøj

The 2022 Njord Sandhøj is a groundbreaking and captivating red wine from the pioneering Danish winery Njord. This wine is a testament to the incredible potential of Pinot Noir Précoce (also known as Frühburgunder) in the cool climate of Denmark. The vineyard, named "Sandhøj" or "sand hill," is defined by its uniquely sandy soils with a very shallow top layer, a terroir that imparts a distinct mineral character to the wine. The 2022 vintage is marked by a beautiful elegance and a transparent, light red color. On the nose, it offers delicate aromas of red berries like raspberry and cherry, with a subtle spicy and earthy undertone. The palate is light-bodied yet complex, with a crisp acidity and silky tannins that create a refined and memorable experience.
