  • A Finnish wine critic recommends a German Riesling from a bag-in-box as the best white wine for summer.
  • The wine is produced by Norwegian musician Sigurd Wongraven, known from the band Satyricon, who is actively involved in its creation.
  • This recommendation is part of a series where HS wine expert Jouko Mykkänen suggests seasonal wines.

Helsingin Sanomat's wine expert, Jouko Mykkänen, has selected an excellent German Riesling, packaged in a convenient bag-in-box, as his top white wine choice for the summer. This particular wine stands out not only for its quality and value but also for its unique producer.

Sigurd Wongraven, the frontman of the Norwegian heavy metal band Satyricon, is the force behind this recommended wine. Unlike many celebrity-endorsed products, Wongraven is deeply and actively involved in the production of the wines that bear his name. His passion and expertise are evident in the final product, making this Riesling more than just a celebrity tie-in.

Mykkänen's recommendation highlights the wine's suitability for the season and its exceptional quality, especially considering its price point and convenient packaging. The series aims to guide readers toward wines that complement the current season, and this German Riesling, with its Norwegian musical connection, offers a distinctive choice for wine enthusiasts.
