Mulled wine doesn't have to be dark and heavy. Blossa Rosé starts with a Spanish rosé wine and adds strawberry and cranberry on top - the result is a paler, fruitier take on glögg, just as happy served cold as warm.

Expert's Description

Blossa Glögg Rosé is a Swedish Mulled Wine from Sweden made from Spanish rosé wine with added strawberry and cranberry, bottled at 10% ABV.

Blossa is one of the best-known glögg names in the Nordics, and the Rosé version is a newer addition to the range - a drier, fruitier style than the classic dark glögg. The spicing is the same familiar combination of clove, cardamom and ginger, but here it meets the rosé wine's light, berry-driven character instead of the heavy, sweet base of a traditional red wine glögg.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Strawberry and cranberry alongside the classic glögg spices - clove, cardamom and ginger.

Palate

Fruity and comparatively dry, with the berry character up front and the spices as a warm undertone.

Finish

Light and refreshing, with a spiced trail.

Serving & Food Pairing

Blossa Rosé can be enjoyed two ways: cold, poured over ice in a wine glass, or warmed up the traditional glögg way. Serve it with Christmas cookies, pebernødder or a piece of dark chocolate.

Blossa Trestjärnig Brons is made from a secret recipe dating back to 1895, originally developed by the renowned wine merchant JD Grönstedt & Co in Stockholm.

Expert's Description

Blossa Trestjärnig Brons is a Fortified Wine Glögg from Sweden with an alcohol content of 21%, with added rum. JD Grönstedt & Co was founded by Johan Daniel Grönstedt in the mid-19th century and ran its wine warehouse at Stora Nygatan 31 in Gamla Stan, Stockholm's old town - the firm was in its day one of the city's most respected and known specifically for its glögg. The Trestjärnig range builds on that heritage with a fuller, sweeter style than the dry Guld edition, where rum gives a warm and rounded foundation.

Nose

Dried fruit, orange, cinnamon and a hint of whisky on the nose.

Palate

Very sweet on the palate with notes of dried fruit, orange, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.

Finish

The finish leaves a spiced nuance with a distinct hint of whisky.

Expert's Description

Blossa Trestjärnig Guld is a Fortified Wine Glögg from Sweden with an alcohol content of 21%, made from Tarragona, Moscatel and Pedro Ximénez grapes with added cognac.
