The wines from Kullabergs Vingård have namnes from small beautiful spots around the area of Kullahalvön, the cape where the vineyard is located. A journey between all the names is a very scenic itinerary.
Our sparkling wine is called Josefinelust, which is regarded as one of the most beautiful spots at the nature reserve of Kullaberg. Join our winemaker Nicola and vineyard intern Juan in the heart of Sweden’s natural beauty, Josefinelust where every step is an experience and every sip tells a story. And of course we had to bring a few bottles of Josefinelust with us to the spot with the same name.
