Discover the best wines made with Rondo as a single variety or as a blend of Sjaelland.
Colourful, fruity reds with a dense purple robe, supple tannins and fresh acidity. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, blackcurrant and spicy notes. Round palate, best drunk young. A very early-ripening, cold-hardy interspecific variety (to -25 °C), it drives northern viticulture in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and Poland. German hybrid created in 1964 at Geilweilerhof (Vitis amurensis × Saint-Laurent, descended from Zarya Severa).
Main island of Denmark around Copenhagen, largest wine region in the country, among the most northerly in Europe (maritime microclimates at Røsnæs). Solaris is the flagship white (cold-resistant hybrid): aromatic and lively with notes of citrus, white peach, white flowers, fresh herbs and a honeyed touch, upright acidity. Rondo and Regent hybrids for light fruity reds. Growth driven by climate warming — Cistercian vineyard at Sorø in the 13th century.
