ABOUT THIS WINE
Wine Mechanics is Sweden's first urban winery, established in 2017 by Kenneth Gustafsson and Magnus Holmgren in Gothenburg's historic Slakthuset meat-packing district. Operating out of a restored 1920s pigsty, the winery sources hand-harvested grapes from organic and biodynamic growers across Europe, transporting them under strict temperature control to Sweden within 48 hours of harvest for vinification, aging, and bottling.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grapes are harvested from 45-year-old granitic plots in Malleval, Northern Rhône. Vinification utilizes 75% whole-cluster pressing and 25% destemmed fruit. Maceration and fermentation take place over 10 to 14 days in open fermenters using partial spontaneous fermentation. The wine is aged for 11 months with 80% in neutral French oak barrels, 10% in new French oak barrels, and 10% in stainless steel.
