WINE MAKING PROCESS
Högberga Blåbärs-bubbel 2020 is produced by vinifying over 1000 liters of blueberries at Högberga Vinfabrik. Following vinification, the wine is aged in oak barrels. The production of this specific wine was an innovative measure taken in 2020 when travel restrictions prevented the winemakers from accessing their usual Tuscan grape sources. The winery's general practice involves importing grapes from organic farms in Maremma, Tuscany, for vinification and aging at their facility in Lidingö, Stockholm.
