2024 Andersen Winery Elmsfeuer Rhubarb Sparkling
Elmsfeuer Rhubarb 2024 is a Danish sparkling rhubarb wine with fine bubbles, fresh acidity, and a characteristic Nordic fruit profile. Produced from the aromatic Elmsfeuer rhubarb and using traditional secondary bottle fermentation. Semi-dry, fresh, and different – in just the right way.
About the product
Elmsfeuer is a sparkling rhubarb wine from Andersen Winery, made from Danish rhubarb of the Elmsfeuer variety. The rhubarb thrives in the Nordic climate, where cool nights and long, bright days allow for slow ripening, developing an intense aroma and a characteristic fresh acidity.
The first fermentation of the must takes place at a low temperature on the pulp, after which the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is aged for a minimum of nine months before release. This gives Elmsfeuer fine bubbles and a more complex and rounded style.
Elmsfeuer is a semi-dry sparkling fruit wine with approximately 10% alcohol. It combines the natural acidity and aromatic freshness of the rhubarb with a light sweetness, making it both immediately charming and highly versatile for food pairing.
About Denmark and Nordic fruit wine
In recent years, Danish fruit wine has evolved far beyond the classic idea of sweet fruit wine. At Andersen Winery, Danish raw materials and traditional winemaking methods are used to create sparkling wines where the natural aroma and acidity of the ingredients take center stage.
Elmsfeuer is a good example of the Nordic style: freshness, high natural acidity, and a distinct raw material character. Here, it is not Chardonnay or Pinot Noir that defines the wine's profile – it is the rhubarb.
Taste
Nose: Fresh and aromatic with clear notes of rhubarb, citrus, and fresh green nuances.
Taste: Crisp and lively with juicy rhubarb, fresh acidity, and fine sparkling bubbles. The semi-dry style provides a pleasant balance between acidity and fruit sweetness.
Aftertaste: Fresh and clean with the characteristic acidity of rhubarb and an elegant, lightly fruity finish.
Serving
Serve Elmsfeuer well chilled, preferably around 7–9 °C, in a Champagne or white wine glass. It can be advantageously served straight from the fridge as an aperitif.
And there is no need for a long explanation here: It tastes fantastic ice-cold on a warm summer day – even if the calendar says otherwise.
What does Elmsfeuer pair with?
- As a fresh aperitif
- Summer salads
- Green vegetables and asparagus
- Fjord shrimp and langoustines
- Smoked fish and light fish dishes
- Air-dried ham and charcuterie
- Tapas and small savory dishes
- Goat cheese
The fresh acidity and light sweetness make Elmsfeuer particularly suitable for dishes where a classic sparkling wine might be too dry or neutral. The producer recommends, among other things, salads, young vegetables, asparagus, fjord shrimp, langoustines, air-dried ham, tapas, and goat cheese.
