About the wine

Ray spent years searching for a first-class Spanish Monastrell for Angels - in fact he almost lost hope in his search for the perfect rich and velvety drop. But as luck should have it, that's when David came along with with his lush La Orphica Monastrell in hand. It's packed full of specially selected late harvest grapes and densely concentrated flavours.

"With this wine I would like to show a different style that can be achieved with selected Monastrell grapes. I hope to give you a bold and mystical Monastrell that will coat your palate with velvety softness and dark luscious fruit. It's a clear ruby red with attractive youthful notes of ripe plums, cherries, fresh crushed herbs and a hint of sweet spices and toast." David Tofterup, Winemaker

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.
