ABOUT THIS WINE
The Lotima Noble is a white dessert wine from Lottenlund Estate, produced in Skåne län, Sweden. It is made exclusively from Solaris grapes. The 2021 vintage was characterized by a long, warm season that facilitated the development of noble rot, a natural process that concentrates sugars and aromas in the grapes. Lottenlund Estate, founded by Tina Berthelsen and Manfred, was inspired by a trip to Tuscany and began planting vines in 2016. The estate emphasizes ecological growing practices, sustainability, and minimal intervention in winemaking, aiming to reflect the terroir. The vineyard utilizes PIWI grape varieties, which are fungi-resistant. The wine is a sweet dessert wine, with a notable residual sugar content. The estate also fosters biodiversity through initiatives like beehives and an apple orchard.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Lotima Noble is produced from 100% Solaris grapes grown at Lottenlund Estate in Skåne län. The 2021 vintage was particularly favorable for the development of noble rot due to specific weather conditions, leading to concentrated grape sugars and aromas. The winemaking approach emphasizes minimal intervention, with the belief that the vineyard is the primary source of flavor. Lottenlund Estate utilizes PIWI grape varieties, which are fungi-resistant. The estate aims for a resting period of 2 to 4 years in barrels and an additional year in bottle for wines with significant aging potential. Ecological growing practices and a focus on biodiversity are integral to the estate's operations.
