Vingården I Klagshamn

Vingården i Klagshamn: A Winery in Sweden? Absolutely!

Nestled in the picturesque southwest corner of Sweden, just south of Malmö, Vingården i Klagshamn is surrounded by the limestone quarries of Klagshamn and Limhamn. This charming winery is operated by the dedicated duo, Lena Jörgensen and Murat “Murre” Sofrakis.

Passion for Winemaking

The vineyard at Vingården i Klagshamn was established in 2001, with its first harvest occurring in 2003. Committed to ecological practices, the winery uses local seaweed from Malmö and horse manure from nearby riding schools as fertilizers. They also employ environmentally approved substances like sulphur, milk, and bicarbonate for crop-spraying, ensuring a sustainable approach to winemaking.

This winery was born from a passion for wine, and that passion is evident in every bottle.

Award-Winning Wines

At Vingården, most vineyard work is done by hand, guided by the philosophy: “If you choose to pick a grape, be ready to taste it.” Over the years, the winery has expanded its land and experimented with hundreds of grape varieties. Currently, they focus on a select few, with the green grape Solaris accounting for nearly 85% of their production, complemented by the blue grapes Rondo and Cabernet Cortis. In 2018, the vineyard produced around 6,000 to 7,000 bottles from its 1.8-hectare estate.

International wine expert Oz Clarke praised the white wine Intercardinal 2009, a collaboration with Vingården winery in Åhus, as Skåne’s best wine during a tasting for Sydsvenskan in 2011.
