Our journey began in the early 1990s, when we moved to V\u00f5rumaa after completing our university studies and fell in love with the region\u2019s natural beauty \u2013 its peace, purity, and diversity. Over the years, this place has become both our home and our life\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>We founded the winery in 2017 with the ambition to create more than just beverages \u2013 to craft experiences that express the essence of Estonian nature and local ingredients.  We grow our own grapes and work closely with nearby farmers. Our main grape variety is Solaris, a northern-friendly grape known for producing fresh and elegant wines. Mati takes care of the wines in the plantation.<\/p>\n<p>Our production is small-scale and guided by craftsmanship \u2013 every step, from vine to bottle, receives our personal care and attention. In addition to wines, we also create berry wines and non-alcoholic beverages, always seeking a balance between tradition and innovation. Maris woks out the wine recipes.<\/p>\n<p>At Uue-Saaluse nature, quietness, and quality come together. We believe that great wine cannot be rushed \u2013 it requires time, care, and a story. Each bottle carries a piece of this place and the life we live here.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
