Umbra NV – Veola

Veola is a modern natural wine project based in Copenhagen, crafting small-batch ciders and wines with low intervention, long aging and maximum character & complexity.

Each bottle is a snapshot of time and place
— and uniquely Veola.

The Veola project first saw its light in 2022 when Mads Grene & Emil Olander decided to make the best of their individual experience as producer (Fruktstereo & Æblerov) and importer (omada.wine) and embark on a joint venture in mixed fermentation.

After more than two and a half years of meticulous cellar work, the first Veola bottles will be released in summer 2025 in close collaboration with omada.wine.

Veola sources apples, pears, plums, grapes & berries from local orchards & vineyards & foraged in the wild with the ambition of bringing Scandinavian winemaking to a level of sophistication that lives up to the high quality of Nordic fruit.

The wines in the veola portfolio are clean, quiet and cool with deep layers of complexity and a perfect balance between ripeness, freshness and acidity.
