Elo - Sold Out

Unique Beetroot wine

Beets have been a staple of Finnish country diet for centuries, and continues to be popular to the present day.  Elo will evoke memories of the time you were a child in your grandmother’s kitchen.

A strong earthy nose yields to a surprisingly balanced taste.  With just enough residual sugar to call out the natural sweetness of beets, Elo is not your typical wine.  Serve it with goat or blue cheese, liver, or other assertive foods.  It holds its own and complements strong flavors. 

Winery Process

How do we capture this widely loved Finnish flavor that in a wine? 

We start by extracted the flavor from Finnish beet roots, and then adjust it by adding sugar and lemons (for acid) before fermenting using a modified white wine method.  The wine is then aged in bulk for close to a year to tame an intense earthiness. During this time, a portion of the wine is intentionally oxidized and then blended back in to give sherry-like notes that contribute to its nuanced profile.
