Haave

Damson Plum (kriikuna) dessert wine

Made from fruit grown in our village of Miekkiö. Haave displays a wonderful flavor and aroma of plum, with an assertive alcohol presence to warm you during the holidays.

Pairs perfectly with beef, ham, game meats, cheeses and many desserts.

Winery Process

After the plums were picked, we removed the pits and then added sugar and yeast. The pulp was fermented until it reached the desired alcohol level before we pressed to separate the liquid from the solids and stopped further fermentation.

After the wine was fermented, it was allowed to age in tanks for a year before it was bottled.

Special info on the process

For those who love Haave so much they would like to make it themselves, you can do so! Haave was used as the example recipe (adjusted to make the process easier for hobby winemakers) in the cover article David wrote for Winemaker Magazine’s June/July 2023 issue.
