Østergaard CRYO Æble isvin sød

Østergaard Sød CRYO 2016 is a handcrafted Danish dessert wine made from apples grown in Lolland. Produced by Østergaard Vinmageri, it reflects the winery’s focus on small-batch fruit and grape wines from Denmark’s mild southern climate. The vintage information is presented as 2023 in the product details, while the name refers to “2016”; please check the bottle label for confirmation.

Tasting Notes
This sweet apple wine is expected to show a bright golden appearance, with concentrated aromas of ripe orchard fruit, baked apple, honey and gentle spice. On the palate, it should offer rich, naturally sweet apple character balanced by refreshing acidity, with a lingering finish that keeps the wine lively rather than heavy. Its concentrated style makes it well suited to enjoying in small pours. The wine can be appreciated now, although its balance of sweetness and acidity should allow it to develop additional honeyed and autumnal notes over time when stored in a cool, dark place.

Production
Østergaard Vinmageri works with fruit from Lolland, where fertile soils and a mild climate support the cultivation of expressive apples, berries and grapes. Sød CRYO is made in a dessert-wine style, using concentrated apple character to create a sweet, intense expression of the fruit. Further details regarding the specific cryo-concentration and vinification methods are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at approximately 8–10°C in small dessert-wine glasses. Its concentrated apple sweetness should pair beautifully with fruit-based desserts, apple tart, crème brûlée, blue cheese and lightly sweet pastries. Decanting is not generally necessary, though allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass can help reveal its aromas.

Producer
Østergaard Vinmageri is a small, hands-on producer based on Lolland, Denmark, crafting specialty wines from both grapes and locally grown fruit. The winery’s vineyards focus particularly on varieties suited to white and rosé wine, while the surrounding Lolland countryside provides high-quality apples, berries and other fruit. Its wines represent the growing tradition of distinctive, handcrafted Danish fruit and grape wines.
