Our wines

We promote high quality of every kind, but mainly Villa Sandahl is a wine house. We have passion and dedication to make something that differ, but also act protectively against obscure trendiness that blows hither and thither over the wine world. We offer rich, elegant and attractive wines for down to earth wine lovers, in a time when wiseacres and agitators proclaim artisan, ecologic, biodynamic and natural wines. Of course we heavily promote sustainable cultivation and non-intervene winemaking, but we don't make it to the main point for our visions. Neither do we produce medals from wine contests or technology temples for pedantry and to impress.

Our wine style

We have decided to go for Riesling, with rich "new world" body, but not on the cost of elegance and subtleness. Acidity in our wines should be modest and soft, and residual sugar level should be detectable but not so much more. Higher quality wines may have a bit more acidity and a bit lower sugar.

From different vineyards and our pressing schematic, we obtain many fraction which we let ferment separately. When each is ready, we gather our tasters for "assemblage". Now we have the opportunity to blend the different wines to a market portfolio for the market, offering wines for all kind of preferences among our customers.

Our vintages

As said, Villa Sandahl is not afraid to let the vintage affect shine through. From 2010 we have had a lot of vintage characters, such as:

  2010 Cold vintage creating modest alcohol and marked acidity
