Hex Bag
Hex Bag is an attention seeking, skinsy Pinot Gris with an acidity-boosting dose of Grüner Veltliner!
100% hand-harvested organic Pinot Gris (80%) and Grüner Veltliner (20%). Hand-destemmed + 7 days skin contact.
The wine has a huge brightness on the palette. Full of stone fruit, particularly apricot & peach - slightly restrained by Pinot Gris’ umami notes. Exciting acidity with a light reduction on the nose.
The perfect companion for roasted veg and grilled meats & bottle-share evenings with friends!

Grüner Veltliner
Our 100% Grüner Veltliner is the result of a split-second decision we are so glad we made! Whilst preparing a blend for another wine, we were so impressed with the free-run juice, that we just couldn’t bear to blend it.
Crisp apple, ripe lemon & mustard seed on the nose.
On the palate: Ripe citrus & dried apricot. Peach, a little nuttyness, fresh herbs and the traditional peppery hint. Awesome acidity that’s been blowing our minds since harvest!
Pair with salads and bitter greens, seafood (crab especially). There’s more than enough oomph to cut through salt and fatty charcuterie too. Available widely in Alko stores in Finland.
Riesling
So fresh, so clean. And super bright! 100% Riesling.
36 hour cool skin contact.
On the nose: Fresh pear, a little tropical.
On the palate: Honeydew, ripe citrus, green pear & apple, a little peachy and refreshing acidity.
Pair with a sun terrace and a view. Available through Alko's webshop in Finland.
Baba Yaga
80% Riesling
20% Muscat Ottonel
Baba Yaga is an enigmatic and ambiguous being of the Slavic folklore. She’s a villain and a donor, a mother and a witch.
The wine is dry and fresh, with notes of apricot, white peach and hint rose petals. Best enjoyed with mysterious company and puzzling circumstances.
Flux Lumen
Flux Lumen is a celebration of light. We’re extremely proud of our fresh and zesty stainless steel whites and FL 2021 feels like the pinnacle of our work on this method.
Ripe green fruits & peach on the nose with apple, pear, ripe grapefruit, dried peach and a moreish, juicy texture.
42% Chardonnay, 33% Gruner Veltliner & 25% Furmint.
2 days of cold skin contact. Buy a bottle or two through Alko's webshop (Finland), More Natural Wine or check your local natural wine dealer.

Behemoth
100% Muscat Ottonel. Meow.
Open top fermentation in skins for 4 days.
Behemoth is a shape-shifting giant demonic cat with a penchant for chess, vodka, pistols, and obnoxious sarcasm. Originally represented as a character in the novel The Master and Margarita. This MusCAT is dry, with some typical orange wine flavours such as mandarin, passion fruit, and flowery notes. During the winemaking formed volatile acidity contributes to freshness and structure into the wine. Perfect match with friends, sarcasm and boardgames.
Sold out at More Natural Wine, but just wait till the next cat lands Berlin. Playlist in vintage 2022 (will be launched soon!) curated by Eric Juslén - DJ, community radio founder, music- and natural wine enthusiast. Meow.
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir returns! Having not released a Pinot Noir in 2020, we’re super happy to have this guy back! Elegantly balanced with a big strawberry nose. Bright acidity and subtle tannins. This wine will cellar well but it’s super fun young too.
Hand-destemmed + lightly stomped, 12% ABV.
Pairing nicely with souvlaki, haloumi or balsamic dressings. Also available through Alko while it lasts. Some bottles seen even in Äkäslompolo's store.
Loop Garoo
Naturally sparkling Pinot Blanc with a touch of Pinot Noir.
Charmat method Pinot Blanc (88%) and Pinot Noir (12%).
The wine is fresh and fruity, acid-forward with an intense nose of raspberry and strawberry. On the palate: Fresh berry & fruity notes; wild strawberry, juniper & blood grapefruit
Pair with salty starters or tapas, fresh desserts or enjoy as a dessert/starter itself. If you're in Finland, orders this gem through Alko's webshop.
