[About Wine]
A medium-bodied red wine with a rich aroma.
The grape varieties used are Ronde, Legend, Pinot Nova and Cabare Noir. This wine is a non-vintage wine, mainly made from grapes harvested in 2022. Some of them include grapes harvested in 2021. It is fermented for 18 months in steel tanks and oak baric (oak barrels), and is completed after malolactic fermentation (secondary fermentation that mellows the acidity of wine).
It is said that red wine grapes are difficult to grow due to cold weather in Sweden, but due to the effects of climate change due to recent global warming and advances in advanced cultivation technology, it has gradually become easier to cultivate red wine grapes in Sweden.
The name of this wine is "RVP" short for "RödVinsProv", which means "dramatic and experimental wine."
*"NV" stands for Non-Vintage" and refers to wine made from a blend of grapes from multiple harvest years, rather than just grapes from a specific harvest year.
