GRAPE VARIETIES
Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon y Garnacha Tintorera
BOUQUET
Deep and dark aromas of black cherries and ripe plums combined with a rich mixture of Asian spices, toasted oak and cigar box.
PALATE
On the palate the black fruits are intensified by the complimentary notes of rich chocolate, toasted oak and cappuccino. The wine is full bodied, filling your mouth with lots of ripe tannins and juicy fruit. The finish is long and lasting
VITICULTURE
Bodegas Trenza’s wines are created by the two Danish brothers, David and Jonas Tofterup. The two brothers have chosen two different paths to become skilled winemakers. They have shared and braided their knowledge and experiences together to create the strongest and most characteristic Trenzas possible.
WINEMAKING
The grapes were manually harvested in small cases of 15 kilos, on 6-7 October 2016. Each variety was vinified individually by chilling the grapes for the first 24 hours before a gentle de-stemming. The grapes were cold macerated for 72 hours at 5ºC before fermentation was initiated. The musts were manually pumped over and punched down several times daily during the 16-25 days of fermentation and maceration. The wine was racked to large new French Burgundy oak barrels of 500 litres where it underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged for 24 months before it was bottled with a light filtration in April 2019
FOOD PAIRING
A wine that will pair nicely with pork spare ribs, roasted duck, lamb with a rosemary and thyme rub, ossobuco stew, rare sirloin steak and venison
