Winemaker's dinner with Nénu and Rasmus Aamand

Rasmus Aamand Olesen – Danish winemaker in the South of France

Meet Rasmus – the talented winemaker from Vejle, who now creates his unique Nénu wines in sun-drenched Collioure and Banyuls-sur-Mer. Since 2017, he has transformed 4 hectares of vineyards into living bottles full of personality. Here he grows, among other things, Mourvèdre, Grenache Noir, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris and Syrah.

Rasmus grew up in Vejle and is therefore particularly looking forward to holding a wine tasting in his hometown. 

Wine with origins in the sea and mountains

The southern French terroir is something very special. The cool breeze of the sea and the height of the mountains give the grapes both sun and freshness. The result? Wine with ripe tannins, crisp acidity and a touch of sea salt. Rasmus keeps things natural – the only addition is a little sulfite, often so little that the analyses show zero.

Nature, curiosity and craftsmanship

Everything happens on nature's terms. Rasmus only uses the yeast that is already found in the vineyards – because, as he himself says:
“Why buy freeze-dried yeast from the industry when our own soil gives us what we need?”

With a background as a biologist and researcher, he has taken the leap into life as a wine farmer. His specialty: organic grape growing and handcrafted wines with soul.
