About the wine
A mouth-filling, full-bodied beauty with intense back fruit flavours
- My early winemaking career took me to harvests in France, Chile and California. Impressed by my travels, my youngest brother penned an essay at school, claiming that by the time he was 25, he'd be making family wines with me in our very own winery.
- In 2001 the dream started to form. My brother Jonas and I settled in the mountainous Yelca region of Spain, where we spent years experimenting with Monastrell grapes from 50+ year-old vines. Our first release was 2004, and the Trenza Family Collection was born.
- This Monastrell (aka Mourvèdre) is a mouth-filling, full-bodied beauty with intense back fruit flavours. These rich flavours of ripe black plums and cherries are supported by decadent chocolate and lingering toasty characters thanks to some treatment in fine French oak barrels.

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.
