Modavi Boblen Den Røde 2018 Danish Sparkling Wine 75 cl 12%

At a vineyard near Kolding, where the Danish climate is far from ideal for growing grapes, Modavi makes something few other Danish producers attempt: a red sparkling wine from the hardy Rondo grape.

Expert's Description

Modavi Boblen Den Rode 2018 is a Danish Sparkling Wine from Kolding made from Rondo with an alcohol content of 12%. Modavi Vingaard was established in 2004 and today grows around 14,500 vines across 6 hectares, mainly the Solaris and Rondo varieties, both bred to handle Denmark's shorter season and lower average temperatures. Boblen Den Rode is made using the Traditional Method, the same technique used in Champagne, where the second fermentation happens in the bottle itself. The result is a rare Danish red sparkling wine, vintage 2018.
