In 1992 my wife and I planted
some 2000 Pinot Noir vines here in the county of Vestfold in Norway. This vineyard is the
worlds northernmost at 60 degrees North. From their vantage point on the
slopes overlooking the Oslo fjord, the vines thrive in a moraine soil containing deep
layers of sand and gravel, made by the glaciers from the Ice Age. |
