Österlen Tour, Part Two

After entering the wine cellar we were met by one of the chefs on staff at the castle who gave us an intro on how champagne is made and we got to taste one of the champagnes made in Sweden. The one we tried in the cellar was very nice- fruity and smooth. They had both the older method of fermentation where the bottles have to be turned by hand every three hours, as well as the modern way where a machine automatically moves all the bottles.
Yummy!
My face is a little washed out, but you can see the modern racks of champagne behind me, waiting to be rotated.
These are some friends I've made here- Rachel (from North Carolina) and Aurora (from Mexico City)
The chef explaining how to make champagne... sorry it's a little blurry...
