Product Description
Details
The wine Trasnocho is a prime example of a Rioja red wine made in a New World style.
The blend consists of 90% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano, and 5% Malvasía & Viura, sourced from the very best vineyards of the prestigious Remírez de Ganuza winery.
Selected both in the vineyard and in the cellar, all of the grapes come from low-yielding, over 60-year-old vines.
This exceptional Spanish red wine from La Rioja was first cold-macerated at a temperature of 4-6ºC for 24 hours in specially designed tanks. After that, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks.
Then this Reserva red wine was transferred into French oak barrels, where it went through malolactic fermentation and was subsequently aged for a period of 20 months..
We suggest that you decant the red wine Trasnocho 2016 some time before drinking.
Production around 9,000 bottles per year.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Trasnocho is medium purple with a ruby rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Rich and opulent, this blend of Tempranillo nuanced with Graciano, Viura and Malvasía conveys remembrances of cassis, blackcurrants and blackberries, with remembrances of Eastern spices and hints of underbrush, cocoa, fine leather, flowers and dry earth. |
| Palate | Expressive and creamy, with wonderfully balanced notions of fruit and spices, intertwined with suggestions of withered leaves, sweet spices, pipe tobacco, undergrowth and flowers. This red wine from bodega Remírez de Ganuza has some silky tannins, a rock-solid acidity and a very long, memorable finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine Trasnocho 2016 is an opulent red that lives up to its ambitions. |

Oh yes
Not for everyday drinking - at least for me. - However, being able to drink a beauty such as this once in a while brings me utter joy.
