Great addition to the natural wine scene in Stockholm: La Colline

Just off Slussen station, you will find this new bistrot with a beautiful bar setting , very welcoming marble bar to enjoy a glass of wine during these upcoming cold days .

A large variety of natural wine by the glass ( the wine list by the bottle is impressive) !

I tried 3 different one: one from France one from Germany and one from Austria – I have not been disappointed !

1/ Avis de vin fort 2016- Domaine Breton 2016

At the contrary of its name, this is not a strong wine- light refreshing cabernet franc ,quite oxidised and a little smoky , very little fruits, more minerals, really good to drink on its own.

2/ Without All, 2015 

My first Trolling, red berries, forest floor with mushrooms on the nose.

The taste is light, fruity, long finish, medium acidity and medium tanins .

Reminded me very much of the Polish wine Kvevri Botaurus .

3/ Grüner Vetliner by Martin and Anna Arndorfer from Austria

Beautiful unfiltered wine wine, round fruit on the nose, almost lactic with good leery yeast with a slight toasty caramel taste. Amazing to drink by itself late afternoon – very good discovery !
