The Manna philosophy

We are dedicated to crafting natural Nordic Cuvées made from apple and quince that offers the purest expression of the fruits, free from sulphites and other preservatives.

Founded in Copenhagen in 2023 and inspired by the New Nordic Cuisine Manifesto, Manna aims to pair Nordic Cuvées with the best Scandinavian dishes.

Manna produces Nordic Cuvées from locally grown fruit, cultivated in the Zealand countryside and vinified just a few miles from the orchards.

The team

Gustav Juhler, our sommelier, crafts Nordic Cuvées that celebrate native fruits and pair beautifully with New Nordic Cuisine. Mie Kirkegaard, our graphic designer, ensures that Manna’s commitment to local ingredients, sustainability, and quality shines through in our visual identity. Mads Borries, with a Ph.D. in biophysics, oversees operations and production while pushing culinary boundaries. Together, we blend artistry, design, and science to create exceptional Nordic Cuvées.

Local production

Today, high-quality wine is often transported across the globe before reaching consumers, significantly increasing its carbon footprint and contributing to global climate change.

At Manna, we believe that it is possible to produce exceptional beverages locally, thus minimizing transportation emissions and lessening the strain on our global climate. By focusing on local production, we aim to set a new standard for sustainability in the wine industry.

Our products

Driven by innovation, we are committed to crafting novel products that challenge conventional winemaking practices and push the boundaries of the industry.

We focus on creating exceptional Nordic Cuvées specifically designed for food pairing. Through relentless curiosity, dedicated focus, and ongoing experimentation, we believe we have achieved this with our three current cuvées: Carnelian, Topaz, and Zircon.
