La Orphica Seleccion Aurora Magnum 2021
About the wine
David Tofterup is treating you to a bumper 1.5L magnum of his bestselling Spanish white as a BIG thank you
-
Since joining Naked in 2019, David's La Orphica wines have been instant best-sellers. Angels loved them so much they nominated David for Winemaker of the Year in 2021 - he's been so blown over by the way Angels have embraced him that he has made a super-sized magnum edition of his delicious Aurora white to thank you for your support.

"For those who think Spain is only Rioja, think again. There’s so much to explore, so much potential in the country’s indigenous grape varieties. I was inspired to make this wine to give Angels a different wine experience. I wanted to break the mould with a high quality wine that combines different Spanish white varietals in a perfect blend."
-
"The nose has a lovely complex combination of refreshing citrus and grapefruit from the Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo, combined with ripe peach and melon from the Viura, and orange blossom from the touch of Moscatel grapes. The palate is soft, smooth and easy drinking with a refreshing finish. It’s a really vibrant, delicious, complex wine but still approachable. A real crowd-pleaser."

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - David and Jonas Tofterup
- Born in Denmark (not exactly a winemaking stronghold!) David and Jonas Tofterups’ lifelong love of wine was kick-started when their parents moved to Spain in the 90s, where they took trips to visit wine regions all around the country. 15-year-old David in particular was hooked, and after finishing school, he threw himself into a winemaking career which has seen him work at wineries all over the world including Spain, France, Chile and the US.
- Jonas, 10 years the junior, naturally looked up to his brother as a superhero. As he grew up, Jonas went the academic route, becoming a fully-qualified Master of Wine who now has degree certificates falling out of his back pocket. They both dreamed that one day they would make a wine together. And now, fast forward 25 years, because of Angels… they do!
- With Angel support, David and Jonas have been able to leave their large scale corporate wine jobs to devote themselves to making their boutique-style family wines with buckets of oomph and personality. They’re specialists in going off-the-beaten-track and unearthing all the hidden gem potential Spain has to offer. And we think they’re really rather good at it.
