We are super happy to have Irma & Helmz @heatstation in the mix for these never ending hazy summer nights.

”You are sitting in a beautiful garden in good company, the table is served with delicious food and wine. You have all the time in the world to just lay back and embrace the moment.

Enjoy!” is how they describe the mix. And we will, 100%.

And the perfect wine for this mixtape is Celler Mas Goma’s Alba al Turo. It’s a slightly hazy pet’nat made from Macabeo and it comes from Penedès, Catalonia 🍇 Alba al Turo is super fruity, delicately toasty and the bubbles are just so creamy🍏🍋🍞

It’s time for cozy November nights, long dinners and good times with the best ones. It’s time for a glass of some good natural wine. 🍷🍇

This month we’re delighted to have Hanna Ojanen in the mix with her heartwarming selection of music. 💫🧡

"You know we all have those days. I’m usually pretty good and known for my feel-good disco, but man - I had a few pretty bad days recently. This set to me is how I picked myself up, and yes maybe accompanied with a glass or two, and yes hopefully with the contents of that glass being some nice natural wine. From Let Me Wine! ;) And hopefully top that off with some yoga. To be listened to alone, on a gloomy winter day. Or with a good friend.

Moods from nu-jazz to deviant pop, to a little disco and a little neo-soul" is how she describes the mix.

The wine for this mix comes from Emilia-Romagna, Italy. 🇮🇹 Filippo Manetti´s Gea is golden colored, oaky, fruity, complex, and warming. This orange wine has 5 days of skin contact and long aging. ⭐️🧡🍊 You can find one from Alko Tripla, Ullanlinna, Wanha Kauppahalli and many more or order through webstore.

✨Happy 2023 folks! ✨

Let's begin the new year with a celebration of fantastic music and delicious natural wine. We’re thrilled to have Von Sampo in the mix with his soulful tape full of deep sounds and positive energies. It's the perfect way to kick off the year on a positive note. @vonsampo is one of the great masterminds behind notorious LIITTO and PTNKY.

”It's a deep and moody mix with joyful and lively elements, just like winter in Finland.” is how he describes the mix.

The perfect wine for this time of year is of course champagne 🥰

Elemart Robion´s VB03 is a top notch champagne. 🥂 This extra brut of 70% Pinot Meunier, 20% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir is made in Montagne de Reims. Cultivation is fully organic and harvesting is done manually. Fermentation is always spontaneous with wild yeasts in stainless steeltanks. Dosage is 3g/l making it perfectly balanced. Fruity and toasty champagne that turns into mineral and long aftertaste.

Available in Alko Stockmann Helsinki, Töölöntori, Turku Kupittaa, Vantaa Tammisto and our webshop🧑‍💻

🧡 Hope you’ll enjoy the mix and the champagne as much as we do! 🧡

🌸Oh April, oh April! 🌸 The best month of the year is here. 

The nature is waking up, a colorful glass of natural wine has never tasted this good, music sounds better with you. See you at a sunny terrace?

Now we’re thrilled to introduce one of the latest DJ names from the neighbourhood: Olesia. ✨

”My birthday is in spring and this time of the year always brings something new and exciting, along with warmer days and sunshine 🌞 This mix is for the new beginnings, first picnics, celebrations, pre-parties and late Sunday mornings.” is how @olesiv describes the mix full of love songs, emotional pop and disco.

And the wine it’s amazing Il Monte Caro Valpolicella Superiore.

This classic area’s Valpolicella is balanced, full of acidity and has a wonderful berry flavor note. Il Monte Caro’s style creates acidic and fruity wines which deviates from the area’s typical full bodied and oaky wines. 

Harvest is picked by hand. The grapes for Valpolicella Superiore are harvested when they’re overripe. Fermentation happens spontaneously with the estate’s natural yeasts. After this the wines mature in steel containers until the blending process and bottling. Minimal sulfites used in bottling. Unfiltered. 

Available In Alko Helsinki Keskusta Arkadia and our webshop💛Link in bio

🎈🎉🫧🙂🌱 

Our minds and bodies are ready for it with the best possible wines and music, right? For Vappu we invited one of the bubbliest DJ in town – Sebastian Holm – to mix it up. 🫧

”This years Vappu-weekend pitcher is filled with some sweet New Age finesse, paired with a twist of Jungle. It goes down well with some smooth downtempo, and is meant to induce a full body of Euphoria. *May include some sediment of Various musical pieces.” is how @djsebastianholm describes the mix.

Donati Camillo Sauvignon ‘Il Mio’ is a very elegant wine, with a delicate aroma and with a good structure made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. A fruity sparkling wine with aromas of white fruit and citrus notes. On the palate it’s refreshing, expressive and with hints of minerality. The grapes are picked by hand, crushed, and after the fermentation the wine is bottled with a small amount of grape juice from the grape Malvasia.

Available In Alko Munkkivuori, Pasila Tripla and Turku Wiklund, and our webshop 💛Link in bio.

🌈🦩 June, oh June 🌈🦩

Hope you’ll enjoy!” is how @mr-a describes the mix.

🍇And the wine: It's the wonderfully juicy Purple Rain.🍇

Purple Rain Rosé is made by Nehrer from the south-eastern hills of Leitha Mountains in Burgenland. A juicy 100% Zweigelt with lots of berry-aroma. The vines grow on a clay-lime-soil and the grapes are harvested by hand. Fermentation begins spontaneously with wild yeasts and the wine is given four days of skin contact. Matured in steel vats for six months. Organically grown and produced without filtration or added sulfites. Vegan.

The label’s art piece is made by Iiris Riihimäki.

Blissful warm days. Tropical nights. Holidays. It’s July – the month of taking it easy. 🌞👒⛱

This month we’re excited to have Maria Wesander in the mix. Such a delightful easy going, relaxed and funky mix for holidays, summer feelings and for those lazy never ending summer days.

”This is an all-vinyl summer mixtape with lots of funky basslines and cathy lyrics. You can sing along in English, French, Italian, Japanese and Xhosa. The mixtape is made to be enjoyed when you’re feeling good and soaking in the scorching sun - any time of the day. The tempos are low (because it’s too hot!) but these songs will make your hips move to the groove even if you’re lying on a sunbed. Enjoy!” is how @m_charlotte describes the mix.

🍇Strawberries, cherries and pet nat's bubbles kissing your lips.  This month's wine is Nittnaus' Let Me Love Rosé Pet Nat!  🍇

Warm summer days, nights like velvet, festival times. August is here and we love it. 💫🦋

This time we're excited to have young gun, deejay extraordinaire, nightrider like no other – DJ JVS – in the mix. Moody, atmospheric, tasteful. Just like it should be.

”...like come on now... late summer? Wine? Let’s not make things too complicated for ourselves.

I wanted to create a mix that embraces the Sunday mood. Rough and weird enough to keep you going, but still smooth enough to stop you from shying away. It’s deep, it’s funky, it’s sentimental. I decided to stay 
close to the roots of jazz while flirting with the type of stuff I usually play at nightclubs. There’s real classics and brand new stuff in there. From Helsinki with love. <3” That’s how @dj_jvs_0 describes the mix.

🍇 The wine for this month is Nittnaus' Kalk & Schiefer Weiss! 🍇

Nittnaus’ Kalk & Schiefer comes from Austrias limestone and slate soil, which also gives the wine its name. A wonderful blend of Weissburgunder and Grüner Veltliner, the organically cultivated grapes are hand picked and 20% of them are given a short skin contact. Six months in oak, no fining, no filtration, and minimal sulphites added during bottling.

🍇 Available in Alko Helsinki Stockmann and also for order! 🍇

The season is slowly changing, but we can still see the warm sun going up and the nature living it’s best harvest times. To celebrate September we invited a selector extraordinaire – DJ Oltermann – to mix for us. 🧡 And he surely did! Thus we have an amazing over 3h mix full of soulful, atmospheric and groovy vibes. Best to be enjoyed with a glass of some superb natural wine.

”Played a lot of personal classics and more recently discovered favourites in this long mix. A lot of soul and love was put into this one. Recorded organically with only vinyl, the mix shifts from hand picked jazz-funk, soul & bossanova rhythms to disco, then to some house and synth-pop records and back to a soulful outro. This kind of music I personally would imagine enjoying while having a glass or two sitting and listening in the beginning and dancing towards the end. The mix is also funky like natural wine tends to be.” That’s how @djoltermann describes the mix.

🍇The wine for this month’s mixtape is none other than Tomassetti’s Ora d’Ora!🍇

An awe-inspiringly aromatic blend of 90% Moscato with 10% of Verdicchio and Trebbiano. Made by the brothers Andrea and Matteo Tomassetti in the Marche region of Italy.

With their experience in olive oil production the brothers took quickly to the organic cultivation of the vineyards they rented in 2015. A small house with quality production and passion! Wild yeasts, steel tanks and no filtration for Ora d’Ora. Orange blossom and perfume on the nose and pleasant grapefruit on the palate. A crisp wine for the remaining warm days of early autumn.

Available in Alkos Turku Wiklund, Tampere Stockmann and of course the webstore for order.

Hope you’ll enjoy the mix and the wine as much as we do!

October's in, and it's craving some bass. This time we’re excited to welcome the bass music maestro, Mary Young, to mix it up for us. 

🦋⚡️🦋⚡️🦋⚡️🦋⚡️🦋⚡️

”This mix is inspired by my favorite season: autumn. I love the beauty & gloominess of the season - the vibrant colors, crisp air, longer nights, and the sense of change and transition it brings.

I wanted to record a bass music mix, but not something intended solely for a club gig. I aimed for a slightly lower tempo (couldn’t help myself moving towards 130 which is my pleasure zone) while maintaining the dark, sexy, wonky, and playful mood that I always strive for during my gigs.

It's a blend of new tracks and long-time personal favorite dancefloor bangers that are perfect for long walks in dark alleys or for pre-parties with your best friends, complete with wine and cheese.” That’s how @mintakat aka Mary Young describes the mix.

🦋And this month's wine is the fine and bubbly Camillo Donati's 'Il Mio' Sauvignon! 🦋

The Donati family begun making wine in the 1930's in Emilia-Romanga, Italy. Camillo is the 3rd generation of the Donati estate and continues the tradition of growing local varieties and love for nature. And that love is something you can taste in this month's wine!

Sauvignon 'Il Mio' is a very elegant wine, with a delicate aroma and with a good structure made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. A fruity sparkling wine with aromas of white fruit and citrus notes. On the palate it’s refreshing, expressive and with hints of minerality. The grapes are picked by hand, crushed, and after the fermentation the wine is bottled without added sulphites. Re-fermentation in the bottle is started with the estates sweet Malvasia-juice for the sparkling whites.
Unfiltered, unfined, no added sulphites.

Available in Alko Kalasatama Redi and Turku Wiklund! And of course our webshop ❤

Hope you’ll enjoy the mix and the wine as much as we do!

Gloomy times are here, but fear not. We've prepared something extraordinary to help you endure - a blend of tasty beats and yeasty wines. 💜🧡

This month, we're excited to welcome the ballroom royalty and the mother of The Iconic House Of Ninja - DJ Coco, who will be mixing it up for us. We have the perfect upbeat mix for you to keep you going and your head nodding all night long. Paired with a fine glass of natural wine and the friendly faces of your choice.

”Get ready to set the pre-party mood on fire with my mix for Let Me Wine. This electrifying blend of Amapiano, Afro House/House, and Ballroom Beats will have you grooving with anticipation before you hit the town. It's the ultimate soundtrack for those moments when you're getting ready to dance the night away.” That’s how DJ Coco @roosa-coco-ninja describes the mix. 

💜🧡 This month's wine is Il Monte Caro's beautiful Carosé Rosé 💜🧡

Made from organically cultivated Corvina and Croatina grapes, this fresh and red fruity rose is the perfect wine to fight against the kaamos of autumn! 🍇

Il Monte Caro's winery has its roots on the hills of Monte Caro in 1986, where photographer Enzo Marcolini met his future wife Carla. The couple fell in love with the area and decided to stay and cultivate the land.

They keep their prodcution respectful of the area's soil and this wine shows the Valpolicella terroir with its minerality.

Il Monte Caro's harvest is always done by hand. Fermentation begins spontaneously with wild yeast in temperature-controlled steel containers. The temperature is kept low during fermentation to create light and fresh wines.

You can find yourself a bottle and enjoy yourself as the autumn leaves fall down from Alko Kalasatama Redi and the webshop.

Hope you’ll enjoy the mix and the wine as much as we do!

Oh, December! 🎄Time for fireside chillin' with friends and fam, with a glass of tasty natural wine in hand (easy listening music playing in the background). That’s what we call relaxing.

To warm up the cold December we’ve invited a wine enthusiast and a great selector – @ericfilipus – to mix it up for us. Eric enjoys his life mainly in Barcelona nowadays, so it’s more than special to have his warm touch to the What Are You Listening? -mix series. This December's heating up already. 💚

”I choose records that I would wanna sip wine to in a hazy bar setting, nothing too uplifting, simply just good listening music, the stuff you can listen to for hours, sophisticated, yet warm and playful.” That’s how Eric describes the mix clearly sipping a special wine at the same time.

🍷 And our wine for the holiday season is Nehrer's Leithaberg DAC Blaufränkisch! 🍷

With cherry and spice and everything nice, this Blaufänkisch pairs well with the season's foods or you can share it by itself with friends.

Grown on the unique lime and slate soil of Leithaberg, Nehrer's Leithaberg Blaufränkisch exudes the vineyard's minerality. Hand picked and sustainably produced, the wine ferments spontaneously in steel containers. Maturation happens in 500 and 2000 liter wooden barrels for 9 months on lees. 

Nehrer family’s vineyard is located in Burgenland on the hills of Leitha Mountain. The area’s terroir consists of a warm climate cooled by cold winds and a soil consisting of clay and lime. These factors create structurally elegant wines which exude the terroir in their flavor.

Unfined, no added sulphites, vegan. Available at Alko Arkadia and the Webshop.

Hope you’ll enjoy the mix and the wine as much as we do!

Adieu, January! February struts in with a sneak peek of sunshine 💛🧡 We’re happy to have a dazzling new wine-music combo to tickle your taste buds and serenade your soul. Introducing the fabulous selector of the month: Heidi Emilia.

”I wanted to create something dusky and dreamlike to accompany those hazy Sunday wines. Preferably enjoyed with some sunshine (I'm already dreaming about summer). This hour contains a bittersweet selection of downtempo, trip hop and more, from 90s, 00s and right now. Rounded low-ends, blissed-out synths, velvety vocals, and all that jazz.” says @heidiemiliah about the mix.

🍇🍇

Our wine for the month is the funky and frizzante Croci Campedello! It’s a lightly sparkling orange pet'nat, made from a blend of aromatic grape varieties: Malvasia, Trebbiano, Sauvignon Blanc, Ortugo and Marsanne. A big blend for a big experience!

After harvest the grapes are crushed. The juice is allowed to macerate with the skins for 30 days, which makes the wine very orange. Spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts. During fermentation the wine is bottled, and the fermentation finishes in the bottle. This produces carbon dioxide, which is the source of the light bubbles. After the sugars have been eaten up, the wine is allowed to settle and rest for a while. Not filtered or clarified, so the wine looks nice and hazy.

Campedello is a top-quality wine that you could consider buying only for the nose, which is an aromatic combination of lilies, rose, and orange zest. The taste goes along the same lines with the nose. The acidic structure, light tannins, and lively bubbles only add to the experience.

Available in Alko Arkadia and our wonderful webshop!

March has arrived, bringing us closer to the most wonderful time of the year: spring! 🌱💚 This month, we're thrilled to introduce Paavo Lähdeaho, a selector extraordinaire and music maestro from Radio Helsinki, who will be mixing things up for us.

”On the barren surface of a desolate planet on an eccentric orbit. An emotionless being keen for knowledge of the civilizations of eons past dreams the dream that the dreamers dream. A spacey adventure to accompany your hazy wines and the first glimpses of our sun.” is how @paavo-laehdeaho describes the mix. Spacey! And we love it.

🍇🍇 The wine of the month is our beloved Nehrer's Klara! 🍇🍇

As we're slowly warming up from winter towards spring, Klara is sure to clear your mind with it's fruitiness and fine minerality!

Made at the Nehrer vineyard in Burgenland, with the proximity of Neusiedlersee, the location creates excellent conditions for playful, delicate yet balanced, dense and complex wines with refinement and minerality. Klara beautifully embodies the essence of Burgenland.

After the blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Welschriesling goes through a three-month fermentation process on lees in stainless steel tanks, Klara emerges as a fresh white wine that truly represents that distinctive minerality and structure of Burgenland wines. 🍇

Oh spring! April, the best month of the year, is here and we can feel it. 🌷🌼🌸🌺🌻🦋🐝🌞🌱  This month we’re thrilled to have Ojelma in the mix!

"This mix is inspired by the slowly awakening nature and people rejoicing after a long winter hibernation. April is such a nuanced month – the beginning might be a bit gloomy after all the snow has melted but the end is all sunny and bursting with energy of vappu. The mix includes hazy downtempo to awaken the senses, some bouncy rap evoking a sense of adventure and exploration and playful drum & bass to accompany the vibrant vappu celebration." Nice. That’s how @ojelma describes the mix.

🍇🍇 This months' wine is Koppitsch's Rét! 🍇🍇

Koppitsch's Rét is extremely fresh and fruity blend of Zweigelt and Sankt Laurent. The wine combines intense berry flavours and freshness of acidity. It should most definitely be enjoyed well chilled and so it couples well with a wide variety of dishes, such as fish dishes.

Rét is part of the Koppitsch family's easy and fun to approach wines. Rét is Hungarian for field or meadow, a reference to the previous crop on the grounds of which the grapes now grow. The wine is handcrafted by the family and all vines are organically cultivated with biodynamic methods.

Available in Alko Pasila Tripla and the webshop!

And just like that it’s May! 🌞⛱️🍇 To celebrate the new month and the beginning of the new season, we have DJ Simo Pukkinen in the mix for us. What a treat!

”A mix with sparkling energy for the spring vibes as varied as the Finnish weather, to lift your spirits while waiting for summer to arrive. I have concocted a journey through my record collection from the very beginning to now. Lost favourites rediscovered, old flames rekindled. Something to sip a glass or two to at picnic (bonanza) or dance at sunset with your friends. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed taking a trip down memory lane for this one.” is how @talesfromthekrypta describes the mix.

⛱️🍇This month’s wine is the beloved Purple Rain! ⛱️🍇

Nehrer’s Purple Rain is back better than ever with a new vintage.

Produced on the south-eastern hills of Leitha Mountains in Burgenland, it’s a juicy 100% Zweigelt with lots of berry-aroma. The vines grow on a clay-lime-soil and the grapes are harvested by hand. Fermentation begins spontaneously with wild yeasts and the wine is given four days of skin contact. Matured in steel vats for six months. Organically grown and produced without filtration or added sulfites. And it’s Vegan.

The label’s art piece is made by Iiris Riihimäki.

Available in Alko Töölöntori and Kasarmitori along with the webshop!
