Why it matters

Josefin Lagerhorn is associated with Blacksta Vingård, a Sörmland operation whose bottles span white wine, sparkling wine, and fruit wine.

Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Flens kommun is the place designation attached to the Blacksta Vingård wines, within Sörmland. A municipal designation gives geographic origin at a local administrative level, while a named vineyard points to a narrower plot. The same place name accompanies every wine in the range. The place facts stop at Sörmland and Flens kommun; soil, slope, climate, and latitude are unspecified.
Wines to know
The range in view
The range moves across white wine, sparkling wine, and fruit wine. Blacksta Vingård Naturligtvis 2023 is a nuanced, very fresh sparkling white wine with roasted bread, yellow apples, gooseberries, walnuts, and orange. Blacksta Vingård Pet Nat 2024 is a fruity, very fresh sparkling wine with apples, yellow gooseberries, marzipan, light bread, and orange. Blacksta Vingård Åkerö Pet Nat 2024 and Blacksta Vingård Rabarber Rosé Pet Nat 2024 are flavored wines and fruit wines.
The two sparkling bottles carry bubbles and very fresh acidity. Blacksta Vingård Åkerö Pet Nat 2024 is made entirely from the Åkerö apple variety and has a little sweetness with apple, orange, nougat, and herb notes.
