A delicious Monastrell

Smooth Spanish red wine. Bright red in color; aromatic in scent with nuances of fresh herbs and vanilla. The flavor structure is round and soft with a mildly fresh acidity in the aftertaste. Great with charcuterie, but also with spicy sausages from the grill.

Bodegas for your home

Lover of ripe, sultry and intense red wines? Then be sure to taste this special and tempting La Orphica from the equally special Spanish Bodegas Trenza.

This house is not just a wine estate, it is the childhood dream come true of the Danish brothers David and Jonas Tofterup. David already had a long career in wine when he started his own winery in Yecla in 2004. He asked his ten years younger but equally ambitious brother Jonas, who became the first Danish Master of Wine in 2019.

Together the brothers now make a small collection of wines that prove how great the potential of Yecla is. This La Orphica is a Monastrell Selección Tardia, or a late harvested Monastrell. This grape (also known as mourvèdre) is the grape of Yecla and produces dark-colored, powerful and intense red wines.

Because David harvests his monastrell three weeks later than normal (the grapes dry slightly on the vine), the tannin in the wine is very nicely ripe. This makes the structure remarkably soft and supple. In addition to the tempting jammy fruit, the natural fresh acids provide sufficient juiciness and balance. A wonderfully sultry wine, in short, and at least as irresistible as the mythical sounds of Orpheus' lyre.
