WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production process begins with a base of organic Swedish apple cider (äppelmust). This is infused with handpicked wild Gotland sloe berries (slånbär) and organic blackcurrants. Traditional Christmas spices are macerated directly in the fruit blend. The mixture is then fortified with Hellström's organic London Dry Gin and finished with a custom-distilled spiced apple spirit to achieve a harmonious balance of sweetness, spice, and botanical complexity.
