Østergaard Rosé 2024

Østergaard Rosé 2024 is a vibrant Danish rosé that shows just how elegant and characterful Scandinavian wine can be. Crafted from Cabernet Cortis and Rondo grown in the fertile soils of Lolland, it brings together freshness, bright fruit and a distinctly Nordic charm. This is a handcrafted rosé from one of Denmark’s more exciting small producers, made to be enjoyed both on its own and at the table.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Østergaard Rosé 2024 shines a luminous pink with a delicate, slightly ruby hue – clear and inviting. The nose is expressive yet refined, with generous aromas of blackcurrant, wild strawberries and fresh rhubarb, underpinned by a gentle floral lift and a hint of red currant. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with juicy red berry flavours that echo the nose: ripe strawberry, tart rhubarb and a touch of dark forest fruit from the Cabernet Cortis. The moderate alcohol (11% vol) keeps the style light and crisp, while a clean, vibrant acidity gives the wine excellent drinkability and a refreshing, dry finish. Enjoy it in its youth for maximum fruit intensity and purity; while it can hold for a year or two, this rosé is at its best within the first couple of years after harvest.

Production
Grown on Lolland’s fertile soils, Østergaard Rosé 2024 benefits from the island’s mild climate and long northern daylight hours, which allow the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining natural acidity. Østergaard works with their own vineyards, focusing on varieties suited to cooler conditions, particularly those ideal for white and rosé wines. The grapes – Cabernet Cortis and Rondo – are harvested by hand to ensure careful selection of healthy, ripe clusters. In the cellar, the fruit is gently pressed to achieve a delicate colour and preserve aromatic freshness, followed by a cool fermentation in stainless steel to lock in the vibrant fruit character and produce a clean, pure expression of Danish rosé.

Food & Serving
This rosé is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with fresh seafood, Nordic-style smoked fish, summer salads, grilled vegetables and light poultry dishes. It also works very well with soft cheeses or as an aperitif on a warm day. Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C to highlight its crisp, fruity profile. Decanting is not necessary; simply open the bottle shortly before serving to enjoy its bright, aromatic character at its best.

Producer
Østergaard Vinmageri is a small, artisanal producer on the island of Lolland, dedicated to crafting hand-made wines from both grapes and fruit. Thanks to Lolland’s fertile soils and relatively mild climate, the estate can grow high-quality grapes in a part of the world where viticulture is still relatively rare and pioneering. All grape wines are made from the estate’s own vineyards, with a particular focus on varieties suited to white and rosé styles. Østergaard has become a reference point for those curious about modern Danish wine, demonstrating that carefully grown, locally produced wines from Denmark are not just a curiosity, but truly worth seeking out and experiencing.
