On the eastern side of Skaftö, we’ll plant the very first vines in May 2026 – 400 Solaris and Souvignier Gris vines will be the start of a new chapter in the island’s history.
Skaftö’s climate is challenging but also full of opportunities. With experience from our award-winning vineyard in Uruguay and the Solaris/Souvignier Gris grape varieties, adapted for cooler climates, we are building a vineyard that combines tradition and innovation.
Our vineyard is located on the eastern side of Skaftö, where the rocks meet farmland and the sea is always close. Here Solaris and Souvignier Gris find the right balance between sun, wind and the cool nights.
Solaris and Souvignier Gris – “We have chosen Solaris and Souvignier Gris for their proven ability to thrive in cool coastal climates, with natural resistance to disease and a capacity to produce wines where freshness, aromatics and structure work together — together they are able to create complexity, depth and harmony in our wines.
Planting will take place in May 2026. During the winter and early spring, the supports will be built and the ground prepared. The first few years are spent establishing and training the vines – patience is part of the essence of wine.
Our journey began with 3,000 vines in Uruguay, a combination of Tannat, Merlot and Cabernet Franc varieties. There we learned the craft and made award-winning wines. Now we’ve returned home to grow wine where the sea meets the land, on Skaftö.
Starting in the summer of 2026, we will hold “open houses” and small hikes.
Only after a few years of harvesting. The goal is local and small-scale.
