TRASNOCHO 2019

Trasnocho is inspired by the ancient — now extinct — tradition of trasnocho wines from Rioja. It results from a unique wine extraction system developed in-house, using a PVC membrane filled with water to gently press the grape skins, releasing up to 70% of the wine. The result is a red wine with a pronounced fruity expression at the perfect stage of ripeness — round, flavorful, and with excellent ageing potential.

VINIFICATION

Pre-fermentation cold maceration in temperature-controlled chambers specially designed for this purpose, lasting 24 hours (between 4–6 °C). Manual grape selection on sorting tables, separating shoulders and tips. This wine is made exclusively from destemmed grape shoulders. Fermentation takes place in small stainless steel tanks. The wine is extracted using an innovative system with a water-filled membrane bag, avoiding oxidation or friction — a method developed by the winery itself.

Ageing: 20 months in new 225-liter French oak barrels.
