Skane

Most Swedish vineyards are in Skåne, on low coastal land where soils can change quickly. Water around the northwest lowers frost risk but limits sunlight, while southeastern valleys can collect spring frost. The region produces crisp whites, mild reds and rosés.

Most Swedish vineyards lie in Skåne, just north of the 55th parallel. Many are planted on low coastal land, where soils can shift sharply over short distances, from flint-rich clay over calcareous sand to light sand. In the northwest, surrounding water lowers frost risk but limits sunlight. Spring comes a little earlier in the southeast, though cold air can collect in its valleys, so some growers use gas burners or small artificial whirlwinds to protect buds. The region's wines include crisp whites, mild reds and rosés.
