The Njord Sandhøj is a premium Danish red wine, named after one of Njord Vingaard's distinct, extreme terroirs—a vineyard site dominated by deep, sandy soil (Sandhøj translates to 'Hill of Sand'). The 2023 vintage, from the challenging Nordic climate, focuses on high-quality Pinot Noir Précoce. The wine typically expresses purity and aromatic intensity, with notes of crunchy red cherry, forest floor, and a signature high-toned acidity. Aging in quality oak adds structure, resulting in a serious, layered, and age-worthy red that clearly reflects its unique cool-climate, sandy origin.
