When he was 15 years old, David migrated to Spain. It was here that his interest in the Spanish language, culture, gastronomy and wine took form.
His interest for wines, however, was not just limited to consuming. Moving back to Copenhagen on his own at the age of 18 he received Cellar Master designation in Denmark and started on his adventures travelling around the wine world.
David joined Hammeken Cellars in 2001. He was given the title and responsibilities of head winemaker and immediately began to build his team of winemakers and create the company’s award winning wine collections.
Spain is like an endless palette of colors. With more than 60 different appellations and endless vineyards of native Spanish grape varieties, the creative canvas for wine-making is infinite.
Nowadays David is the winemaker of Conde Pinel, Radio Boca, Vanesa and Finca Milena. It is very special that someone from outside Spain wins this price.
