roseeviineissä

RoseeViiniessa is a Finnish term used to describe the tradition of freezing grapes and waiting for them to thaw before using them in wine production. This method allows the grapes to ferment naturally, resulting in a truly unique and distinct flavor profile.

The history of RoseeViiniessa dates back to the early 19th century when it was first practiced by farmers in southern Finland. They would carefully hand-pick the best grapes from their vineyards and then hang them in a cold, dry place, allowing them to freeze completely.

As winter progressed, and temperatures fluctuated, the frozen grapes would gradually thaw, starting from the interior of the grape outward. When the grapes were completely thawed, the farmer would harvest them again, and the juice within the berries would have fermented naturally, producing a robust and full-bodied wine.

RoseeViiniessa wines are typically light-bodied, with flavors of strawberry, raspberry, and a hint of sweetness. Because of their unique production method, these wines can be quite strong, sometimes lasting several years without spoiling. Despite their distinct taste, RoseeViiniessa wines have gained popularity in recent years due to the rare and authentic method behind their creation.

In modern times, RoseeViiniessa is still practiced by a handful of committed vintners in Finland, who carry on the tradition and offer their unique wines to enthusiasts. Unusually, the name "RoseeViiniessa" translates from Finnish meaning "frozen wines" or "frozen grapes."
