Danish Wine
Danish wine
New wine country?
It started back in 1993, in Avedøre where Michael Gundersen planted the first vines in a field. However, it was not until the year 2000 that there was an official approval of commercial wine production in Denmark by the EU. After the EU's approval of commercial wine production, you could taste wine from 2001 onwards. There were 2 wine producers in 2001, and since they did not have a very large stock, the wine was quickly sold out. Subsequently, more and more wineries have been added in Denmark and back in 2020 there were approx. 100 commercial vineyards in the country. The largest is located at Røsnøs Kalundborg and is called Dyrehøj Vingaard.
Danish wine in the shop
We are lucky enough to have wines from Bognæs Vingaard and Ørnberg.
Bognæs Vingaard is located on Tuse Næs, and with their passion for good wine and 4000 vines, they come up with fantastic white wines and sparkling wine.
Ørnberg Vingård is located by Sjællands Odde. They wanted to prove that it was possible to produce good wine in Denmark. From here it went quickly.
Ørnberg has really gained recognition in wine circles, and their rosé, dessert wine and mulled wine have previously been voted Denmark's best.
