Our Story
Challenging the world of wines. A few years ago, a couple of friends and entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to introduce something new to the world of sparkling wines. Others had attempted this before but with poor results. So something had
to be done differently this time. Rather fast we identified the most important factor for success – knowledge! To be able to produce a great birch wine we need someone with knowledge, experience and the will to guide us. We contacted Lars Torstensson and got him on board with the project. We were then brave enough to start producing our new birch wine. The second most important factor was volume. To be able to make the birch wine we needed to invest in machinery, staff and facilities. To make those investments worthwhile we had to achieve production volumes large enough to supply the whole world.
Sustainability
Birch wine from the nature and with nature in mind. Our raw material, birch sap, is very pure and clean and comes straight from nature. The forest where our birch trees are harvested is a part of the untouched nature of northern Scandinavia. The forest is naturally free from pesticides and year after year we can harvest the sap without hurting nature affecting nature in a negative way. We use only organic ingredients and make sure our birch wine is both organic and vegan. Our production method makes the birch wine without sulfites, so we can confidently say that this is probably one of the purest wines you will ever experience. Our goal is to place the district of SAV on the world map of sparkling wines.
Organic Swedish Perfection
With the raw materials of clean water, fresh air and untouched nature, we have made a well-balanced sparkling with a pure, fresh and crispy taste of green apples and a touch of sweetness. The birch sap is carefully harvested through small holes drilled in the tree trunk. The sap is then pasteurized and stored in designated containers to stay clean and fresh. The birch trees are not harmed in the harvesting process and the forest remains healthy and strong year after year.
Harvesting Our Heritage
In the deep woods of the north, we have found the perfect conditions to produce SAV 1785, a sparkling wine made from birch sap. Every year, when winter loosens its grip on nature and the ground thaws, the rich birch sap rises in the trees to welcome another season of light. This natural occurring phenomenon has proven to be an excellent source to make a well-balanced, crisp and fresh sparkling wine. The birch sap is carefully harvested through small holes drilled in the tree trunk. The sap is then pasteurized and stored in designated containers to stay clean and fresh. The birch trees are not harmed in the harvesting process and the forest remains healthy and strong year after year.
Méthode Suédoise
Wine has been made for centuries and there are many known methods for producing different types of sparkling wines. Our SAV 1785 is produced in a way that combines the "méthode traditionelle”, and the "méthode ancestrale". We call it the ”Méthode Suédoise”. Before the first fermentation in the tank is finished, we add some yeast and sugar and move the birch wine to a bottle where it becomes bubbly and reaches perfection. This is a Swedish sparkling, and the method was developed by us in Sweden to suit our raw material, birch sap. That is why we call it "Méthode Suédoise”.
