Fruit and berry sweet
“Geri metai No. 70 – Rowanberry Wine SWEET NEWE 2023” is an exceptional sweet white wine that reveals the full potential of rowanberries in an elegant, aromatic, and beautifully balanced expression. It stands as one of the most distinctive examples of Lithuanian fruit wine, combining natural character, craftsmanship, and a clear sense of origin.
The wine displays a medium-intensity lemon hue, bright and vibrant in appearance. On the nose, it offers youthful, playful aromas of citrus, grapefruit zest, sweet apple, fresh pineapple, and apricot, complemented by delicate notes of acacia and mint.
On the palate, the wine is juicy and pleasantly sweet, supported by crisp, refreshing acidity that brings excellent balance and prevents the sweetness from becoming heavy. The flavor unfolds in layers, revealing fruit-driven freshness and lightness, while the finish is long, clean, and elegant.

“Geri metai” – unveiling the hidden potential of rowan berries
“Geri metai” is a family-owned estate that has been cultivating rowan orchards for more than five years and, in 2022, introduced its first rowan berry wines to the market.
“Our goal is to reveal the potential of the rowan berry while preserving its natural character and expression of terroir,” says Giedrius Kaukas, the owner of the estate.
The wines are never heated, filtered, or artificially clarified. Every stage – from harvest to aging – is carried out by hand, ensuring that only the purest and most authentic expression of the fruit reaches the bottle.
The estate is home to 14 different rowan berry varieties, whose fruits vary in color (from bright orange to almost black), taste, and aroma. As a result, the “Geri metai” portfolio includes white, rosé, orange, amber, red, and purple rowan wines – each with a distinctive character.
Rowan wines are true, wine-like expressions: alongside the unique character of rowan berries, one can also detect notes of citrus, dried fruit, wild berries, and gentle spice. On the palate, the wines range from refreshing acidity and a light body to richer, more expressive tones, depending on the style.
The wines are made exclusively from rowan berries – without the addition of any other fruits or berries. They may contain only naturally occurring sulfites.
