Description

This wine is made from Pinot Noir Précoce – an early ripening mutation of Pinot Noir that thrives particularly well in the cool Danish climate. It is from the En Variation parcel, as the name suggests, which typically represents a variation on the vines or a special terroir section at NJORD.

Fragrance

The wine offers an elegant and inviting aroma with notes of:

Red berries such as cherries, raspberries and red currants

Light floral nuance of violet and perhaps rose petals

An undertone of earth/minerality that gives the wine's profile character and sense of place

Taste

In terms of taste, En Variation 2022 shows:

Juicy and bright fruit – primarily ripe red berries

Well-balanced acidity that provides freshness and liveliness

Soft tannins that provide structure without being dominant

A finish with finesse and length, where the minerality and sense of terroir emerge.

Serving & food match

Serving temperature: 15-17 °C – preferably slightly chilled but not too cold, so that the wine's aromas and structure have the opportunity to unfold.
Food match: Suitable for dishes such as poultry, veal, light game, mushrooms, mature cheeses or dishes where the fruit and elegance of the wine can come into its own - for example, a light mushroom risotto or grilled chicken with herbs.

Overall impression

NJORD En Variation 2022 is a Danish wine that shows how far Danish wines can go – especially when the focus is on grape selection (Pinot Noir Précoce), terroir and precision in winemaking. This wine combines freshness, the elegance of a petit Pinot Noir style and a clear local character . If you are looking for a Danish red wine with serious quality, this is an obvious choice.
