La Nymphina Monastrell 2023

Danish brothers David and Jonas caught the wine bug at a young age. From childhood, they dreamed of one day making their own wines. That dream became a reality and is called Bodegas Trenza, a small winery in the Spanish wine region of Yecla.

The brothers created this La Nymphina as a tribute to the passion they both always felt for wine. It was this passion, after all, that led them to each make their mark in the wine world: David as a renowned winemaker and Jonas as the first Danish Master of Wine. It's a Yecla par excellence, made from 100% Monastrell, the grape for which the region is so famous.



The vines are planted at approximately 850 meters above sea level, allowing the grapes to ripen gradually while retaining sufficient freshness. The vines are between 45 and 50 years old. Once harvested, the grapes are destemmed and pressed. David discards the first part of the pressing to further concentrate the color, aromas, and flavors. After fermentation, the wine is aged for six months in used Burgundy barrels of 228 and 500 liters.

The result is a powerful yet approachable Monastrell, with notes of ripe blackberries and plums, spices, cocoa, and a hint of oak. Enjoy it with roasted meats, hearty pasta dishes, or aged cheeses, or cellar it for a few more years. Impressive!
