Mikael Nypelius
Mikael Nypelius has experience as sommelier and restaurant manager from numerous Michelin stared restaurants in Scandinavia, awarded ”Sommelier of the Year” by Sweden’s biggest wine magazine Livets Goda in 2015. Mikael, together with Karl Sjöström, founded FRUKTSTEREO in 2016 with the goal of making a new type of cold climate cider and wine based on Swedish fruit. They now have their own fruit yard of 14 ha in southern Sweden where they farm organically with an agroforestry mindset to mix the different fruit, grapes and berries they use to make there wines and ciders. At FRUKTSTEREO they believe in blending different fruits to reach a higher complexity in a cold climate condition, all spontaneously fermented and with out pasteurization or filtration.
