AS TALLINK GRUPP Tallink Grupp launches new Tallink Silja Line Ship's Wines and Beers - an exclusive collection of 5 private label wines and 2 craft beers from Europe's choice producers, available onboard company's vessels, as well as hotels, onshore restaurants and web shop starting from 2 May 2024 over the next two years.
The new Tallink Silja Line Ship's Wines and Beers were chosen as a result of international competition, by blind tasting method by the company's in-house extensive panel of experts, including sommeliers, wine and beer experts and both onshore and onboard restaurant managers across the company.
Commenting on the launch of the new Tallink Silja Line Ship's Wines and Beers, Head of Tallink Duty Free, Aimar Pärna said:
"We are pleased to present our brand-new ship's wines and beers. The new collection is featuring six excellent, organic, and sustainably grown wines from Europe: Italy, France, and Germany. For the beer lovers, we present two finest craft beers from Estonian breweries. Our ship's wines and beers are traditionally very popular with our guests, and I hope that our customers will really enjoy this exciting new collection which we have carefully chosen from all over Europe reflecting the fine craftmanship and the trends of the industry".
The Tallink Silja Line new ship's wines were chosen from among 130 wines, submitted to company's competition from 6 different European countries in 5 categories: champagne, sparkling wine, white wine, red wine, and rosé wine.
Annamari Nikkel, category manager for Tallink Duty Free, and member of the jury said:
"This year, we will surprise our customers with high quality and exciting wine experience with our ship´s wines more than ever before. New private label champagne is really special as it is a white champagne made entirely from red grapes and therefore super aromatic and powerful. All other wines are certified organic as sustainability and offering the purest wines is a topic very close to my heart. Ship´s sparkling wine is after some time again a cava and next to a white cava we have selected a rosado version also to please all our rose-loving customers. Rose still wine is also part of the ship´s wines new range and this Italian rosato will create a summer feeling every time you smell or taste it. White wine is from cool Germany, and it is our customers' most loved grape - Riesling, juicy and vibrant. With red wine we have gone to a bit different direction - instead of a super full-bodied appassimento, in high alcohol style, we have chosen a classical Chianti, filled with red fresh berries and elegant, lean body."
The ship's beers were chosen from among 36 beers submitted to the competition, including 21 lagers and 15 porters from breweries in the Scandinavian region: Finland, Sweden, and Estonia.
Birgit Ummer, category manager for beer, Tallink Duty Free, and member of the jury said:
"The new ship's beers include two craft beers from Estonian brewers: lager by Pühaste and porter by Põhjala. Both are bold and high-quality beers, brewed with selected flavours, ingredients, and brewing techniques, to highlight the best qualities of beer. Both craft beers are great to be enjoyed on their own and also pair well with a variety of dishes throughout the four seasons. Try the lager with roasted chicken and salmon, flavoured with Mediterranean herbs or burgers and light pasta dishes, or spicy Mexican food. The porter pairs well with roasted duck fillet with cherry sauce, smoked pork ribs, cheese selection with fig jam, tiramisu, and French chocolate cake, or why not enjoy a smooth silky stout as a dessert on its own".
