Bodega Frontio

Bodega Frontio is a captivating natural wine project located in the Arribes region of Spain, initiated by Danish wine enthusiast Thyge Benned Jensen. Thyge, a former finance professional, left a career in Copenhagen to pursue his passion for winemaking. In 2016, he established Bodega Frontio in the beautiful and remote Arribes area, known for its stunning natural landscapes and old vineyards. Thyge's approach to winemaking is deeply rooted in organic and low-intervention principles. He focuses on producing handcrafted wines that are defined by the quality of the grapes, the soil, and minimal intervention in the winemaking process. Using indigenous yeast and low extraction methods, Thyge crafts wines that are soft, fruity, and complex. The vineyards boast a variety of grape varieties, allowing him to create different styles of wine, including attempts at rosé, sparkling, and a fantastic orange wine. His aim is to blend these varieties effectively to produce better wines. Bodega Frontio's wines are defined by Thyge's unique vision and dedication to creating soft and gentle wines that can be enjoyed repeatedly. He aspires to make the local grape variety Juan Garcia well-known through his wines. Thyge's journey from a corporate job to the world of winemaking in Spain is an inspiring tale of following one's passion and contributing to the diversity and richness of the wine world.
