In 2018, the European Union granted Denmark its very first wine region.
The wine region DONS is Denmark’s first and the EU’s northernmost appellation, on equal terms as the perhaps more famous regions of Bordeaux, Champagne, La Rioja, and Piedmont. Skærsøgaard’s sparkling wines “DONS” received Denmark’s first PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), which is equivalent to the French AOC and the Italian DOC.
The wine region DONS consists of 500 hectares of the glacial valley in the innermost part of Kolding Fjord, near the hamlet of Dons. The estate winery of Skærsøgaard is centrally located in the wine region and produces acclaimed sparkling quality wines.
The designation DONS (PDO) ensures a certified standard of quality.
Skærsøgaard’s quality wine is honored internationally.
In their August issue, the magazine EU Business News, after a review of Scandinavian wineries, honored Skærsøgaard as the winner:
Best Luxury Estate Winery 2024 – Denmark.
