Tasting notes:
Grape variety Garnacha tintorera centenaria, mencía with some grains of brancellao and sousón 300 meters above sea level, on slopes of slate and clay, make Traste one of the most impressive wines we have tasted. Perfect ripening, with a good balance of acidity and alcohol, faithful to its geographical origin and with aging potential.
High layer, pillory border. Franco, elegant set of medium-high intensity, peculiar nose with freshly plucked roots, juicy black fruit, very floral, umami, incense, coffee beans and a spicy touch of Mencía, Atlantic profile. Both the entrance in the mouth and the step is of great tactile delicacy, with structure and finesse, compact. The barrel clothes without highlighting, sweet tannins of quality, that although they do not bother they were refined with a few more months of bottle.
