Christianelund Wine

About Christianelund Wine

Christianelund vineyard cultivates two grape varieties, Solaris with 2,000 vines and Souvignier Gris with 1,000 vines. Trine and Anders Gold took over the estate in 2003 intending to keep horses, but in 2014 planted their first 1,000 vines instead, adding another 2,000 in 2015 and 2017. For newcomers, Christianelund is a charming example of the new Danish wine movement, while wine-savvy drinkers will notice that the fresh acidity and lightness are a direct consequence of the Danish climate.

History & Background

Anders, originally trained as a farmer, handles the day-to-day field work alongside his job as a teacher, while Trine manages sales and outreach. The family's decision to grow wine rather than keep horses came once they realized the Danish climate could actually support healthy, cool-climate grape varieties like Solaris. Christianelund is today part of the growing Danish wine scene, where former farmland is gradually being turned into vineyards.

Production & Style

The wines are made from grape varieties hardy enough for the Danish climate, grown using methods adapted to the northern conditions.

Signature Style

Fresh, Crisp, Light
