Making Wine From Cherries

For my vocational visit, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Frederiksdal Stevnsbær, a beautiful estate located in the southern part of Denmark, on the westernmost point of the island of Lolland. Due to the northern climate, it's not a place to grow wine grapes. However, three partners (Harald - the estate owner with the perfect cherry orchard whom I met with, Jan - a restaurateur, and Morten a journalist) teamed up to create various cherry wines for the dinner table unlike any that you've tried. The product is now being exported to various countries in Europe and in China with aspirations of being its own Lolland "wine country" one day. It was a pleasure to visit such an inspiring business and see product innovation alive and well.
