Jon imports wine from his family’s vineyard, Le Raït, in France and a whole bunch of other delicious natural wines from fellow producers - mostly French. When he’s not in France, he’s manning his cosy little shop in Nordvest.
Christopher Melin is one of the men at the centre of the natural wine scene, and he imports wine for many of the bars and restaurants mentioned above. He also co-founded Æblerov: a company producing natural cider from Danish apples.

Every weekend, the shop curates a “weekend package” with three bottles that are open for tasting and can be purchased together with a discount.
