History and mission

Clos Haga vineyard in Karjaa Finland is open field vineyard without winter coverage such as greenhouse or growth tunnel.

 

Our mission is to find a vitis hybrids  that can thrive in this location. The site is Southwest facing, sloping with favorable micro climate. The challenges are the exposure to strong winds and the Finnish climate in general. Site is at Finnish growth region 1b, USDA growth region 6a.

The vineyard

"Clos Haga" was established in 2021. First block of the vineyard was cleared and fenced. First plantings done. The vineyard is on open field, slight sloping, facing south west.

 

Today the vineyard has three blocks. The original and largest one is about 200 vines, roughly split between Minnesota & Amurensis hybrids. Two other smaller blocks of 50 vines each  are planted with North America hybrids.
