Here at Gilleleje Wine, our ambition is to produce “world-class Danish farm wine” that is tailored to the soil and the coastal microclimate at Østergaard. Our priority is to create a crisp, dry white wine that complements the hedonistic lifestyle of northern Zealand and pairs well with the shellfish and other fish landed at nearby Gilleleje Harbor. While we strive to perfect our white wine, we’re also working diligently to improve our Pinot Noir Précoce to achieve the phenolic character so appealing in Pinot Noirwines, as well as on developing our “cool climate” orange wine with extended skin contact and a brief aging period in used oak barrels. We run the farm and vineyard according to organic principles, but are not yet certified.
So please stop by and take a walk through the vineyard, chat with the winemaker, and taste our wines at the farm shop on Almevej.
